New York Times bestseller!InThe Memory Librarian:And Other Stories ofDirty Computer, singer-songwriter, actor, fashion icon, futurist, and worldwide superstar Janelle Mone brings to the written page the Afrofuturistic world of one of her critically acclaimed albums,exploring how different threads of liberationqueerness, race, gender plurality, and lovebecome tangled with future possibilities of memory and time in such a totalitarian landscapeand what the costs might be when trying to unravel and weave them into freedoms.Whoever controls our memories controls the future.Janelle Mone and an incredible array of talented collaborators have crafted a collection of tales comprising the bold vision and powerful themes that have made Mone such a compelling and celebrated storyteller. Dirty Computer introduced a world in which thoughtsas a means of self-conceptioncould be controlled or erased by a select few. And whether you were human, AI, or other, your life and sentience were dictated by those whod convinced themselves they had the right to decide your fate.That was until Jane 57821 decided to remember and break free.Expanding from that mythos, these stories fully explore what its like to live in such a totalitarian society . . . and what it takes to get out of it. Building off the tradition of speculative fiction writers such as Octavia E. Butler, Ted Chiang, Becky Chambers, and Nnedi Okoraforand filled with powerful themes and Mones emblematic artistic visionThe Memory Librarian serves to readers tales that dissect the human trials of identity expression, technology, and love, reaching through to the worlds of memory and time, and the stakes and power that pulse there.
