Singer-songwriter and activist Janelle Monáe brings to the written page the Afrofuturistic world of one of her critically acclaimed albums, exploring how different threads of liberation - queerness, race, gender plurality, and love - become tangled with future possibilities of memory and time in such a totalitarian landscape, and what the costs might be when trying to unravel and weave them into freedoms. Monáe and an array of talented collaborating creators have written a collection of tales comprising the bold vision and powerful themes in which thoughts could be controlled or erased by a select few.
