Ask HN: Sci-fi recommendations by non-western authors?

While talking with a friend about books, I realised that 99% of the sci-fi I've read was written by western authors. Mostly white men at that. When reading Cixin Lui's Three Body Problem I was pleasantly surprised by the (to my mind) different perspective that his background brought to the telling of the story.

I'd love to hear some sci-fi recommendations featuring authors with different backgrounds. Anything goes: non-westerners, refugees, deeply religious cultists who live in a hidden paradise underneath antarctica, whatever.
