According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the term “Afrofuturism” was introduced by scholar Mark Dery in 1993, as a way of defining existing trends that focused on Black literature and 1980s technoculture.For many of us who are not necessarily Sci-Fi comic book fans or Sci-Fi book readers, or part of the technoculture universe, the Afrofuturism (or Afrofuturistic) genre burst onto the American Pop scene with the release of the highly successful MCU film Black Panther in 2018.
Now in 2024 from the mind of author Derrick Howard, comes the Afrofuturistic Sci-Fi thriller, Omnis: Last Man of Earth. Set on Intergalactic Independence Day (Earth) in the year 2050, Sledge, a reluctant, blind hero, is dragged, kicking, and screaming into a gallant struggle for survival as he tangles with celestials, transhumans, aliens, drones, and sentients in a race to save humankind.
Derrick Howard is a writer, attorney and legal educator who has dedicated his writing career to Afrofuturistic style-science fiction and nonfiction concerning civil and human rights. His journalist endeavors have been recognized as progressive, innovative, and a model for defining the rights of future generations.
Engagement with the Reader:
"I aim to immerse the reader as a silent participant in the narrative, subtly breaking the fourth wall through references to real Earth history and “Cancer Cultures” that enrich the fictional world and its backstories. By intertwining the storyline with historical, contemporary, and projected future events, I intend for readers to discern that the depicted future is the trajectory we are presently on.” ~ Derrick Howard
Omnis: Last Man of Earth is now available at Authorhouse Publications and Amazon worldwide.
