![]() ![]() ![]() Alastair Reynolds gave us a trilogy (beginning in Blue Remembered Earth. Not his best work, but – being the work of a white British guy – was reasonably good.)Īnd then there’s Yohance. Butler’s Xenogenesistrilogy coming (high hopes here, and if you’ve not read them you should). There’s supposedly a TV adaptation of Octavia E. There’s strains of it in the weirdness of Parliament Funkadelic’s albums, so it’s been around a few decades. If you dug that aesthetic and wonder where you can find more like it, well:Īfrofuturism. It’s visuals are tremendous and I did not mind one bit sitting through the seemingly endless VFX section of the credits. The film is absolutely gorgeous and lush. ![]() I just want to say something about Black Panther’s ultra-fucking-cool Afrofuturism. I have no doubt the subject is covered elsewhere. Not being black myself, I’m not going to try delving further into that. Black Panther manages to embrace both American blackness and African blackness.) On the contrary, American blackness is integral to the plot. It’s a movie with a primarily black cast that isn’t ludicrous, exploitative, or obsessed only with the black experience in the United States. ![]()
