Octavia Butler’s Earthseed series is a master work of dystopian science fiction. In a near future, America is crumbling from climate change. As water and food become scarce, private companies and religious fundamentalists take over. Sound eerily familiar?The two books in the series, Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents, were published in 1993 and 1998, but feel terribly resonant today. In Butler’s grim future, a hardcore patriarchal religious leader named Andrew Steele Jarret is running for president as the head of the Christian Americans party. And, as a couple people have pointed out, his fictional campaign uses the same slogan as real-life presidential candidate Donald Trump: Make America Great Again.We live in the future. And it’s terrifying.  -- source link
