A really good set of stories, written with a lineup of coauthors. There wasn\u2019t a story here that I didn\u2019t enjoy. While not strictly necessary, I do recommend at least watching the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jdH2Sy-BlNE\"><em>Dirty Computer<\/em> \u201cemotion picture\u201d<\/a> before or along with reading this for a little more background on the world and its characters. And, of course, Mon\u00e1e\u2019s <em>Dirty Computer<\/em> album, along with the rest of her albums, is excellent.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9758-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Me holding Dirty Computer\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9758-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9758-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9758-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9758-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9758-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hopepunk and Afrofuturist stories in the world of Janelle Mon\u00e1e\u2019s _Dirty Computer_<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2036,2049],"tags":[5727,5728,5729,5726,5731,5730],"class_list":["post-49468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-photos","tag-alaya-dawn-johnson","tag-danny-lore","tag-eve-l-ewing","tag-janelle-monae","tag-sheree-renee-thomas","tag-yohanca-delgado"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49468\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
