More Brilliant Than the Sun

Eshun's book More Brilliant than the Sun: Adventures in Sonic Fiction was published in 1998 and is “At its simplest... a study of visions of the future in music from Sun Ra to 4 Hero”[1]. Written in a style that makes extensive use of neologism, re-appropriated jargon and compound words the book explores the intersection of black music and science fiction from an afro-futurist viewpoint.
