Abstract or Description

The essay provides a close reading of the Laingian text that provides the conceptual levers of intervention required to undertake the desedimentation of the categories of magical realism, science fiction and Afrofuturism in order to think through the recursive capacities of the text to act upon the object of literature from the future of 2020 in the present of 1992.
