Title: Parable Of The Sower
Author: Octavia E. Butler
Citation: Butler, O. E. (1993). Parable of the sower. Four Walls Eight Windows.
Description: Set in a near-future California devastated by climate change, economic collapse, and social unrest, this novel follows Lauren Olamina, a young woman navigating a world of chaos and violence. In the midst of survival, she creates a new belief system called Earthseed, built on the idea that ‘God is Change’ and that humanity’s purpose lies beyond Earth. Interweaving themes of survival, resilience, faith, and inequality, the story reimagines the biblical parable of the sower through the scattering of ideas and the struggle to plant hope in barren soil.
