Parable of the Sower (Octavia E. Butler)

Aya C

“The book that opened my eyes to Octavia Butler. Eerily prescient for having been written >30 years ago!”

Sam

“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”

“This book pulls zero punches. (Thank you to @Aya C and @Lida Richardson for giving me the nudge to finally read this.)”
