Speculative Fiction Novel on Memory, Ritual, and Resistance Genre: Speculative Fiction - Afrofuturism - Literary Dystopia Target Audience: Crossover Adult (17+) - AfrofuturismCollection: New Paradigm Tetralogy - Vol. 1Description: In Year Zero, history was rewritten. The Dawn State of Ma'at imposed a new calendar, mandatory hymns, and a gospel of purity. Memory became dogma, and justice a tool of control. But the air always remembers. Kion and Phyllis, two young people raised to obey, begin to discover that water and scars tell a different story. Alongside them, a grandfather carrying forbidden secrets, a seer with visions, a torn teacher, and an engineer who justifies violence embody the fractures of the regime.The Shadow of the Black Planet is a dystopian fable told in a lyrical voice that weaves together African mythology, contemporary politics, and poetic speculation. Rooted in Afrofuturist tradition, it poses a radical question: What remains of our humanity when justice itself becomes dogma?With haunting scenes, layered characters, and a backdrop steeped in ritual and symbolism, this novel is perfect for readers of literary speculative fiction, political dystopias, and anyone drawn to stories where imagination meets social critique. Ideal for book clubs, academic programs, and lovers of narratives that blur the borders between science fiction and the literature of ideas."This work not only entertains and enlightens, it offers a profound mirror to reflect on humanity, power, memory, and hope-universal dimensions that resonate far beyond the novel's specific setting." - Leticia Herrera Hurtado
