A multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner’s powerful saga of survival and destiny in a near-future dystopian America.
One of the world’s most respected authors of science fiction imagines an apocalyptic near-future Earth where a remarkable young woman discovers that her destiny calls her to try and change the world around her. Octavia E. Butler’s brilliant two-volume Earthseed saga offers a startling vision of an all-too-possible tomorrow, in which walls offer no protection from a civilization gone mad.
Parable of the Sower In the aftermath of worldwide ecological and economic apocalypse, minister’s daughter Lauren Oya Olamina escapes the slaughter that claims the lives of her family and nearly every other member of their gated California community. Heading north with two young companions through an American wasteland, the courageous young woman faces dangers at every turn while spreading the word of a remarkable new religion that embraces survival and change.
Parable of the Talents Called to the new, hard truth of Earthseed, the small community of the dispossessed that now surrounds Lauren Olamina looks to her—their leader—for guidance. But when the evil that has grown out of the ashes of human society destroys all she has built, the prophet is forced to choose between preserving her faith or her family.
The Earthseed novels cement Butler’s reputation as “one of the finest voices in fiction—period” (TheWashington Post Book World). Stunningly prescient and breathtakingly relevant to our times, this dark vision of a future America is a masterwork of powerful speculation that ushers us into a broken, dangerously divided world of bigotry, social inequality, mob violence, and ultimately hope.

This was a surprising and unfaithful look into a post-apocalyptic America. There were no zombies or virus induced mutations. It was just a realistic portrayal of what society would, in all probability turn into with no laws or enforcement.Product details

Earthseed The Complete Series edition by Octavia E Butler Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I cannot believe that I somehow have missed out on Octavia Butler for this long.what an incredible story teller. If you have not read this, make it your next book.
Whoa, this really is well written, shocks your thinking and makes you question your assumptions about race, control, biological drive among others. I have read a lot of fiction, sci fiction with new ideas but I really appreciate how Octavia Butler can present but subtle and blunt in the same breath. If none of this book makes you uncomfortable or question what you believe, you are a rare bird. This book somehow manages to present topics which are boldly uncomfortable in a way that seems casual and honest.
As I was reading The Parable of the Sower, I had to stop and look up when this book was written. I thought that perhaps Octavia Butler had written it in response to Trump, Pence, and Bannon, but it turns out she died well before they came into the political spotlight. I typically read fiction to briefly escape from reality, but reading a dystopian novel while feeling vaguely like I could be living through the beginning of a dystopian novel really does nothing to relieve my anxiety.
That aside, I thought the idea of Earthseed was interesting. I wanted to find out what happened to Lauren and whether she survived.
I wish greater care had been taken in the editing of the book. Perhaps it was just the version I was reading, I found the amount of typos distracting.
Octavia E. Butler is an amazing author and I thoroughly enjoyed reading Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. Both books are wonderfully written and very entertaining to read. 5 stars!
I loved this series and find it particularly relevant in today political atmosphere. We have a racist president, the religious right would like to limit women's equality and the environment is being neglected. I wish everyone could read this series.
These two Earthseed books have been my introduction to Octavia Butler's work, and a wonderful one. Harrowing and humane, a mostly ground-level view of a terrifyingly plausible near-future, the story of Lauren Olamina feels entirely real. Recommended, especially if you've had enough space opera and would like to read something written for -- and by -- a grown-up.
A pair of novels that were dark and frightening and uplifting and full of hope.
Butler tells a story set in the near future. This is a future which has (fortunately for those of us who would have to live in it) not yet come to pass. It is a future which easily could come to pass just as Butler has predicted. As always, her characters were strong yet vulnerable. The backdrop is a realistic world with more problems than solutions.
I cannot express how much I enjoyed this book. The story moved at the right pace throughout. The second book is told through a series of flashbacks and journal excerpts of the main characters each of which moves the story forward.
All in all, maybe it is too soon to process exactly what I liked so much, but I can emphatically and unreservedly recommend this series.
This was a surprising and unfaithful look into a post-apocalyptic America. There were no zombies or virus induced mutations. It was just a realistic portrayal of what society would, in all probability turn into with no laws or enforcement.
