Description
“Cinnamon Jones Invites You to an Outdoor Sci-Fi Carnival Jam at the Amphitheatre.” The New World Festival is coming up, and Cinnamon and her three Circus-Bots must get to the Co-op for rehearsal. But with the weight of responsibility for providing shelter to the flood refugees while dealing with threats from the Darknet Lords, nostalgia militia, and desperados, Cinnamon is in a funk. With the help of her friends and the promise to her elders, Cinnamon will make sure that the show goes on.
Archangels of Funk is the latest novel by award-winning author Andrea Hairston. This very original tale is a beautiful mix of cyberpunk and old-world folklore. Or, as Cinnamon elegantly put it, “a blast from the past and a holler at tomorrow.” Hairston’s Afro-futuristic masterpiece combines larger-than-life characters with a near-future landscape that feels very utopian despite the conflicts. This book is a breath of fresh air compared to many near-future works. Hairston’s writing has the rhythm of a solid funk jam combined with her poetic imagery. If this novel were a concert, it would deserve the loudest standing ovation.
