I feel like a certain poster here is conveniently and transparently overlooking the word "DEVELOPING" in the title.

I notice the wikipedia article is still un-edited, too. Put your money where your mouth is if you're so confident.

No sci-fi wasn't an official thing, yet the title of this is 'were developing the Afro-Futurism/Black Sci-Fi genre...'

I'd say a fictional story about slaves successfully rebelling and taking over a country, narrated by a scientist, who does science things, counts.

It is ridiculous how much hair-splitting is done when it's Black culture, and I'm quite embarrassed by the attempt to claim entire wikipedia sections are 'wrong' like this.

(Not saying you're saying that, I understand we're on the same page.)

So looking up the Blake story it’s not really sci-fi at all?

You should edit the wikipedia entry then, because it disagrees with you.

"Samuel R. Delany described it as "about as close to an SF-style alternate history novel as you can get.

Further, while it incorporates elements of the fugitive slave narrative, Blake's narrator is also a scientist, whose focus on data collection and research stand in repudiation of the racial science of the day.[10] In fact, this reflects one of Delany's major themes: that Africa and its contributions to science and math were foundational to the Western world.[12]"

I mean, yeah, basically.

Dude, this is incredible. If this was on a CRT or if you're looking from the side, it's dead-on. That shot of the delta city ad looked straight from the movie, angle-included!

As Libb here said, wordpress is excellent for just writing out a blog. Also, /u/[email protected], please tell us when you have your blog up :)

I think I would need some kind of example of what we're counting as 'intelligence.'

First, fuck you, hahahha, second, yes. Born in 1981, which AFAIK is the literal dividing year between Gen-X/Millennial.

99% sure it was a plastic box, but this would be like 400 years ago, so I can't recall exactly, haha. I definitely don't remember ours having the digital display. We actually went straight to computers the next year, which obviously was much nicer.

I'm a millennial and I learned touch typing on a typewriter in school, specifically for my resume.

Wow, that did not feel great to say.

Hey I just wanted to say I think this is a beautiful post, and I'm sorry I somehow checked it off without seeing it. Thank you so much for sharing this, I hope it helps someone going through what you were.
