This innovative Afrofuturist memoir returns in a second edition with a new introduction by Douglas Kearney. Said Shaiye’s cross-genre debut Are You Borg Now? blends nonfiction and poetry in an experimental interview the author conducts with his younger self, rejecting the conventions of memoir and what is expected of who writes them, specifically when that writer is an immigrant. Are You Borg Now? cyphers with trauma through a poetics of refusal via hard and beautiful language. Finding vigor in Islam and mirrors in Star Trek: Voyager, Shaiye shifts achingly between memory and improvisation.
