Holy crap Octavia!
You wrote this in the nineties!

Reading Octavia E Butler's "Parable of the Sower" for the first time in 2023 is... Wow.
Wer traurig ist, weil Octavia Butlers Parables nie vollendet wurden: Ich lese gerade ihre Ă€ltere Trilogie Lilith's Brood (aka Xenogenesis, aka Gene Stealer), und erkenne darin schon sehr viel von dem wieder, was ich letztes Jahr bei meinen Recherchen fĂŒrs Science Fiction Jahr ĂŒber das nie vollendete Parables of the Trickster rausgefunden habe. Ich will nicht sagen, dass sie sich wiederholt hĂ€tte, das hĂ€tte sie mit Sicherheit nicht, aber dass das groĂe Thema Change und Adaptibility da so zentral ist, dass ich eine Ahnung kriege, wohin uns die Parables gefĂŒhrt hĂ€tten. #OctaviaEButler #Parables #EmergentStrategy

I'm currently reading #Dawn by #OctaviaEButler. Really enjoying it thus far, I'm a sucker for first contact stories where most of the book is just folks learning about weird biology.

Itâs scary how closely presidents Jared in Parable of the Talents resembles Trump and the current GOP. This was published last n 1998 when he didnât even think of politics. What a visionary and good a science fiction writer she was. Even the slogan âMake America Great Againâ. #MAGA #OctaviaEButler #Earthseed #Christofascism

Happy #BlackFriday readers of Mastodon! This toot is about a black author I discovered many years ago and still enjoy reading today - #OctaviaEButler https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52318.Wild_Seed
First episode of Kindred: good! Felt like the books, but with a bit of additional padding. I think they cast Dana and Kevin really, really well. And the whole aesthetic... the lighting, the interiors, the camera angles... is top notch too. It's a very clean execution of Butler's original vision. #kindred #television #OctaviaEButler

Took me a little while to watch this trailer, but it looks like the Kindred adaption could be... good. There's something about an Octavia E Butler character that is so unique that it runs the risk of being squashed flat in the wrong hands, but no, that looks right. That looks like Dawn. #books #OctaviaEButler #television https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grco3eoAA30

Itâs an Apple News link so I donât know how far that will reach but this profile on the life of #OctaviaEButler is lovely and infuriating.
#OctaviaEButler is one of my favorite writers...one I might've rubbed elbows with at the LA Central Library Index Card Cabinet in the early 80s. When the first Kindred movie was announced I was disappointed it wasn't based on her book. Now I'm jazzed that #hulu is coming out with work that actually is.
A couple of books by her:
