Have had this my own reading list for ages and somehow haven't ever quite gotten to it. Will bump it up, thank you!

“Was inspired to re-read this after seeing her journals on display at the Huntington Library. Even better the second time around.”

“From the mother of Afro-Futurism, a dystopian tale set in a near-future, climate-ravaged Los Angeles. Lauren Olamina, our heroine, creates a new religion called Earthseed as she flees the collapse of her gated community. This 1993 book has a fascist president with the slogan "Make America Great Again", which, for the record was a slogan from Ronald Regan, so yeah, Trump even stole THAT. BONUS: Buy”
