"And so anyway Mark went over, spoke to Greg, came back, started writing on black science fiction. He wrote a big piece in The Wire, a really early piece on black science fiction in which he posed this question, asks "What does it mean to be human?" In other words, Mark made the correlation between Blade Runner and slavery, between the idea of alien abduction and the real events of slavery. It was an amazing thing, because as soon as I read this, I thought, my god, it just allows so many things. You can collapse all of these things; science fiction and music, they're the same. And then from there, it was pretty much out. It was out and various people started picking up on it and using it in various ways. And Mark Dery, through the Greg Tate route, simultaneously started doing it in 93, but he had no idea that there was anyone in London following it, and since then you've got people like Kevin Martin, who's a journalist, who's been following it, you've got people like Simon Reynolds following it. So there's a real perception of black science fiction as this ongoing thing." |

Wmw is a bigot, Simon Reynolds is a good music journalist, his heart is in the right place though. |
