What to read this weekend: An immersive new work of Africanfuturism


This week on our reading list, we have Nnedi Okorafor's Death of the Author and FML, a new comic for Dark Horse by Kelly Sue DeConnick and David López.

Okorafor coined the term "Africanfuturism," describing a subcategory of science fiction that's "more directly rooted in African culture, history, mythology and point-of-view" than the more "America-centric" Afrofuturism. Set in Portland, Oregon, FML follows Riley (a teenager who accidentally gets turned into a large, hairy beast), his friends and bandmates, and his ex-punk mom as they navigate a world that seems to be falling apart around them, while each dealing with their own personal BS. Meta is beginning its first “small test” of ads on Threads, Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced, as the company looks to finally start making money off the service.
