katiemack 's review for:
The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer
by Janelle Monáe
I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Book Riot Read Harder Challenge 2022: Read an anthology featuring diverse voices.
This is a tough one to rate because for me the stories vary in quality--some were overly flippant; some bogged down the reader with detail--but it's an incredibly strong collection overall. Janelle Monáe and her co-authors do a great job of not only incorporating queer Afrofuturist elements in their sci-fi stories, but also tying them in with Monáe's album and short film Dirty Computer. My favorite story was probably the titular one, which also happens to be the longest in the collection, written with Alaya Dawn Johnson.
