About Me:
Stafford L Battle is an AFROFuturist. He has been involved with the Internet since its beginning when he and his co-author, Rey Harris, wrote The African Resource Guide to the Internet & Online Services, published by McGraw-Hill in 1996. He has been called the “Original Black Geek”. He has traveled the nation and appeared in public media to promote closing the digital divide and encouraging African Americans to embrace technology to define our place in the future of the world.
Today, he writes speculative fiction offering alternative viewpoints featuring people of color as major characters. Stafford believes that “AFROFuturism” is not a recent phenomenon nor a new genre of sci-fi in blackface. He has written essays and blog posts on the “Architects of AFROFuturism” which acknowledges Black writers in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries who predicted a future filled with multiculturalism as well as laser pistols and spaceships. He believes that exposure to speculative arts can educate people to look beyond their day-to-day lives and create a positive outlook.
His latest work The AFROFuturist Bible is a story about religion and Black folks in the 21st century when one Black preacher takes a stab at the ancient gods who attacked him. The AFRO Sci-Fi Anthology has been recognized as “Excellent Sci-Fi Horror”, “Strange but Brilliant” and “Great New Sci-fi from a different perspective”. It has been highly ranked on the Amazon booksellers list for a decade. Resurrecting the King is an homage to the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein but with an African flavor; give powerful nukes and creepy AI to a reborn Shaka Zulu and see what happens.
You can reach Stafford on the Web and at the Black Science Fiction Society. He is one of the original members. This has been a great project!
