This is such a good cultural overview of Afrofuturism. A perfect entry level reading for someone who doesn't know a lot about the genre and is looking for a general history of the beginning to current times. Looking at all mediums of media and art, I think it touches on a lot of different interest areas. If you have more knowledge of the genre, I think it is still worth reading with beautiful illustrations, artwork and photography, but also a lot of care given to specific figures and important works in afrofuturism. This was a wonderful read and supplied a lot of reference to other works to continue reading.
