This was my first thought as I tried to plan to attend the MoPOP event. Carter is an icon to costumers and designers, including myself. I wanted to know when I saw this title why it is not regarded as black sci-fi, or black fantasy, genres that have been somewhat defined already, rather than black "technology." These other genres incorporate incredible craft tech, as we know. I wish I could have heard how Ms. Carter made a distinction. I didn't make it to her talk, unfortunately.
