Manifesting the future with words
MARCH 2026
Atlanta, GA – March 2026 – Independent publisher Black Utopia Press announces the release of a bold new work, Vibe Is Meta 4: Keisha of the Future. This is the first book in a four-part Afrofuturistic series of short stories about the time Black people couldn’t recognize white faces.
Set in a near future where gravitational waves and the viral phenomena of Black levitation disrupt human consciousness. Vibe Is Meta 4 follows a mysterious “face virus” that strikes the African American community, making it impossible for Black people to recognize White faces. At the same time, scientists classify the gravitational waves hitting Earth as a planet-altering event. Amid the transformation, Black joy emerges as a visible, blinding, luminous, and unstoppable cosmic force that spirals White reality into chaos.
Reedus’s book debut leads readers into an allegorical world of short stories where metaphysics meets racial memory—blending Afrofuturism, dystopian urgency, and the existential consequences when attention shifts Black consciousness.
Through lyrical storytelling, the author asks:
What happens when Black people can’t recognize White faces? What does it feel like to exist inside a perpetual state of Black joy? What if Black joy could rewrite the laws of nature? What if celebration became revolution?
Vibe Is Meta 4 launches March 2026 in print and digital editions, with an audiobook adaptation and companion multimedia projects in development.
