About the Author

Jeff Lohr is a visionary scholar and writer whose work bridges the realms of science fiction, cultural studies, and African diaspora narratives. With a keen eye for the intersections of technology, identity, and futurism, Lohr explores how Black experiences shape speculative worlds beyond the stars. His seminal contribution, Afrofuturism 2.0: The Rise of Astro-Blackness, redefines the genre by examining the evolution of Afrocentric futurism in the digital age, drawing on historical contexts and contemporary innovations to illuminate pathways for empowerment and imagination. Lohr's writing challenges conventional boundaries, inviting readers to envision liberated futures where ancestral wisdom meets cosmic possibility. A frequent speaker at literary and academic conferences, he continues to influence discussions on race, space, and storytelling in the 21st century.
