Afrofuturism is a philosophy looking at the intersection of African culture and technology. Celebrating the fictional amalgam of blackness and progress No, not launches of nifty new hacks for ankle monitors or kiosks selling bio-mods to accommodate 2kg packs in one's arse. as seen in Wakanda, ladies and gentlemen.
