In The Memory Librarian music, fashion, film and activist icon
Janelle Monae returns to the Afrofuturistic world of her critically
acclaimed album, Dirty Computer, to explore how different threads
of liberation - queerness, race, gender plurality, love - become
tangled in a totalitarian landscape... and to discover costs of
unravelling them. Whoever controls our memories controls the
future.Janelle Monae and an incredible array of talented
collaborating creators have written a collection of tales
comprising the bold vision and powerful themes that have made Monae
such a compelling and celebrated storyteller. Dirty Computer
introduced a world in which thoughts - as a means of
self-conception - could be controlled or erased by a select few.
And whether human, A.I., or other, your life and sentience was
dictated by those who'd convinced themselves they had the right to
decide your fate.That was until Jane 57821 decided to remember and
break free. Expanding from that mythos, these stories fully explore
what it's like to live in such a totalitarian existence... and what
it takes to get out of it.Building off the traditions of
speculative writers such as Octavia Butler, Ted Chiang, Becky
Chambers, and Nnedi Okorafor-and filled with the artistic genius
and powerful themes that have made Monae a worldwide icon in the
first place - The Memory Librarian serves readers tales grounded in
the human trials of identity expression, technology, and love, but
also reaching through to the worlds of memory and time within, and
the stakes and power that exists there.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
