Janelle Monae Talks New Book 'The Memory Librarian and other Short Stories of Dirty Computer'

Based on her 2018 album and short film release "Dirty Computer", the main story in Janelle Monae's new book "The Memory Librarian and Other Short Stories of Dirty Computer' follows a Black gay protagonist seeking a same-sex relationship in a world that wants to control all memories and self-expression. Monae says that while the fictional world she's written is set in the future, it looks very much like the repression she's seeing today.
