✨Chasing Lilith💫

Sinara Castillo is a hitman on the warpath after surviving the abuse of Protean Developments Lab. In a moment of vulnerability, she snaps during an interrogation which leads to her being sent away to The Obsidian Hotel.

Rhys Fairleigh is the unconventional heir of The Obsidian Hotel tasked to welcome her. Meanwhile, the mother of his ill-conceived son seeks control over the hotel by sabotaging his personal life.

The pair find they mirror their own pain, which forces them to heal. They do everything in their individual power to escape, but it seems the solo fight proves fruitless.

Design inspired by retro-futurism, this will be an Afro-futuristic EXPERIENCE. I’m taking inspiration from #DerrickBell original #afrolantica story, and mixing in Black sociological theory from many classic theorist, including #BellHooks .

This is the moodboard for a really big portfolio project. Project title: Unity Orbiter One.

I’m revisiting an old idea: What if Black people left for a planet, just for us? I want to explore two parts. What does it look like to determine who goes and who stays? And once we get there, what systems have we developed to align an ENTIRE DIASPORA for all of the foreseeable future?

So tell me, what type of experience does this feel like to you: a book, board game, VR game, pc strategy game, a brand, etc?

This is also a self accountability post. If y’all engage with it, I’ll feel more compelled to work on it and share results. 😅

I want to read Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower. The problem is it's the first book in the Earthseed Trilogy and she died before she could write the Third book. I don't want a fucken cliffhanger. Does anyone have any advice?

Over on Tik Tok I talk about books and literature, with book recommendations once a week. So, let’s bring that energy here! Sounds like a time.

My theme for the months of November and December are books I enjoyed reading this year! Today you’ll get a two for one to catch up with BookTok. 

The Prey of Gods

Nicky Draeyden

Combo sci-fi fantasy, afro-futurism

from Storygraph

In South Africa, the future looks promising. Personal robots are making life easier for the working class. The government is harnessing renewable energy to provide infrastructure for the poor. And in the bustling coastal town of Port Elizabeth, the economy is booming thanks to the genetic engineering industry which has found a welcome home there. Yes--the days to come are looking very good for South Africans. That is, if they can survive the present challenges: A new hallucinogenic drug sweeping the country . . . An emerging AI uprising . . . And an ancient demigoddess hellbent on regaining her former status by preying on the blood and sweat (but mostly blood) of every human she encounters. It's up to a young Zulu girl powerful enough to destroy her entire township, a queer teen plagued with the ability to control minds, a pop diva with serious daddy issues, and a politician with even more serious mommy issues to band together to ensure there's a future left to worry about.

This book does an excellent job of interleaving multiple different viewpoints into one giant mishmash of story where everything comes together in the end in a spectacular fashion. While some of the threads could have used a little more room to breathe, the way it so expertly combines such vastly different sci-fi and fantasy concepts is extremely cool and not something I see very often. It navigates the concepts of identity through a lens of queerness, generational family trauma, chronic illness, and the implication of genetic divinity.

It’s a wild ride, and immediately endeared me to the author enough to pick up literally every other thing she’s ever written.

The Callout - White People Are Afraid of Fictional Worlds Reflecting The Real World

Oct 3, 2022 On this edition of The Callout with Candace McDuffie, Candice explains how sci-fi and fantasy has never been all white. She theorizes that White people are afraid of fictional worlds reflecting the real world where racism and inequality exist. Imagine... a world where white people aren't always being centered.

Afrofuturism

by Keorapetse Modiba submitted to the University of the Witwatersrand 10 October 2022 Abstract Africa is quite active in producing African futures since the turn of the millennium. These are a part of the several non-Western modernity’s—modernity’s of revolution, reform, or restitution—that exist at the same time. The term “Afrofuturism” refers to a cultural movement that reinterprets the…
