This book offers an in-depth analysis of Janelle Monae's Dirty
Computer, an Afrofuturist project that appeared simultaneously as a
concept album and a visual album or "emotion picture" in spring
2018. In the previous decade, Janelle Monae has developed into a
global media personality who effortlessly unites speculative
world-building with social and political activism. Across the
intersecting album and film that together make up Dirty Computer,
Monae brings together the science-fictional themes that informed
her previous work, resulting in a powerfully focused artistic and
political statement. While the music on the album can be enjoyed as
an accessible collection of pop tracks, the accompanying film,
music videos, and media paratexts add layers of meaning that
combine speculative world-building with anti-racist activism. This
unique convergence of energies, ideas, and media platforms has made
Dirty Computer a new classic of Afrofuturist science fiction.
