- Curated in INTRODUCING THE BEST SFF OF 2022
Monáe’s Dirty Computer film and album were works of queer, radical, cyberpunk genius, and in these five stories, she and her talented team of collaborators expand and dig more into that world. Some of the stories are vast — the Director Librarian uncovers a rebel plot to clog memory collectors — while others are more zoomed-in — an exhausted student discovers that time stops in her apartment pantry. It’s genius SFF that digs into queerness, gatekeeping, dystopia and hope. I’m rooting for “Timebox Altar(ed)” by Monáe and Thomas to win all the awards next year.
