Welcome to The Network State podcast, where we explore the future of technology and its impact on society. 

Today we had the pleasure of speaking with Fabrice Guerrier, a Haitian-American science fiction and fantasy writer and founder of syllble, a pioneering sci-fi and fantasy production house and publisher that creates fictional worlds by connecting diverse creative writers, visual artists, and inspired creators from different countries, backgrounds, and cultures through artist collectives. 

Then, he was inducted into Forbes 30 Under 30 list and named to Root magazine’s 100 most influential African-Americans.

We'll be exploring the following questions: 

- Why is understanding Afrofuturism important for global geopolitics and what does it say about humanity?

- How can Afrofuturism challenge and redefine traditional notions of power and authority?

- How does imagination play a role in envisioning alternative futures that are inclusive and empowering for all people?

- In what ways can Afrofuturism inspire creative solutions to address social, political, and environmental challenges?

- How can we harness the power of Afrofuturism to foster cultural exchange and understanding between diverse communities?

- What role does storytelling and narrative play in shaping our collective vision of the future?

- How can Afrofuturism challenge and dismantle harmful stereotypes and biases that perpetuate systemic oppression?

- How can Afrofuturism inspire new models of governance and social structures that prioritize equality, justice, and sustainability?

- What are the potential ethical implications of Afrofuturist technologies and their impact on marginalized communities?

- How can Afrofuturism contribute to the decolonization of knowledge production and challenge Eurocentric narratives of history and progress?
