The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer

內容簡介

內容簡介 跨文本科幻小說，掌控記憶者便能掌控未來夢內集歌手、創作人、模特兒、演員和製片人於一身，活躍於音樂、時尚、電影場域，其個人專輯和同名電影《混亂科技》（Dirty Computer）深具未來非洲主義與實驗色彩，備受讚譽。夢內在書中和不同作者合寫五篇科幻小說，回歸《混亂科技》的反烏托邦世界，描寫主角「珍57821號」如何反抗極權主義，不讓他人主宰其記憶和人格。In The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer, singer-songwriter, actor, fashion icon, activist, and worldwide superstar 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.Whoever controls our memories controls the future.Janelle Monáe and an incredible array of talented collaborating creators have written a collection of tales comprising the bold vision and powerful themes that have made Monáe such a compelling and celebrated storyteller. Dirty Computer introduced a world in which thoughts—as a means of self-conception—could be controlled or erased by a select few. And whether human, A.I., or other, your life and sentience was dictated by those who’d 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 it’s like to live in such a totalitarian existence…and what it takes to get out of it. Building off the traditions of speculative writers such as Octavia Butler, Ted Chiang, Becky Chambers, and Nnedi Okorafor—and filled with the artistic genius and powerful themes that have made Monáe a worldwide icon in the first place—The Memory Librarian serves readers tales grounded in the human trials of identity expression, technology, and love, but also reaching through to the worlds of memory and time within, and the stakes and power that exists there."
