In Janelle Monáe’s full-length debut, the science fiction
concept album The ArchAndroid, the android Cindi Mayweather is on
the run from the authorities for the crime of loving a human.
Living in 28th century Metropolis, Cindi fights for survival, soon
realizing that she is in fact the prophesied ArchAndroid, a robot
messiah meant to liberate the masses and lead them toward a
wonderland where all can be free. Taking into account the literary
merit of Monáe’s astounding multimedia body of work, the
political relevance of the science fictional themes and aesthetics
she explores, and her role as an Atlanta-based pop cultural
juggernaut, this book explores the lavish world building of
Cindi’s story, and the many literary, cinematic, and musical
influences brought together to create it. Throughout, a history of
Monáe’s move to Atlanta, her signing with Bad Boy Records, and
the trials of developing a full-length concept album in an industry
devoted to the production of marketable singles can be found,
charting the artist’s own rise to power. The stories of Monáe
and of Cindi are inextricably entwined, each making the other more
compelling, fantastical, and deeply felt.
