Martyr Loser King: A Graphic Novel
23rd Street Books, April 2026, 336 pages
A cyberpunk fable of capitalism, colonialism, and the future of technology. In a small East African country, a miner’s encounter with an otherworldly stranger births a hacker, MartyrLoserKing, and a global cyberattack that shakes centuries of institutional abuse — a cautionary tale and a hopeful vision at once.
The spirit of this work is infectious. A graphic poem of resistance wonderfully told through Afrofuturistic flare.
Saul Williams' new book Martyr Loser King turns cyberpunk into creative rebellion. The multidisciplinary artist's upcoming graphic novel reframes sci-fi through a Black radical lens, spotlighting the power of community and collective consciousness.
