In times of trouble, cowards choose the easiest path. It is only the courageous—and almost always those who are most marginalized—who dare to say and do the hard, but right, thing.

As our calendars finally catch up to the timeline of her imagination, Butler seems to have predicted many realities that are playing out this year in her novel. Visit the link below to read more about the similarities between Butler's 2024 and the 2024 we live in today.

I wrote my first book review on Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower. The novel published in 1993, opens in July 2024 in a highly capitalist America. As readers follow the protagonist Lauren Olamina and catch up to the timeline in Butler’s imagination, we wonder how Butler could’ve “predicted” so much. Should we be concerned that novels deemed “post-apocalyptic” resemble reality? I interview readers of Butler as they explain why this is a cautionary tale—now more than ever.
