In this Story Thyme book club episode, we’re talking about "Parable of the Sower” by Octavia E. Butler, a dystopian novel written in 1985 but set in 2025 that feels way too real right now. Octavia imagined a future where climate change goes unchecked, water is scarce and expensive, wealth inequality is extreme, wildfires are constant, and a fascist “Make America Great Again” style movement is rising in the United States. We reflect on why this book has resurfaced during today’s climate disasters and what it asks us about adaptability, belief, and survival. Are we already living in the world Octavia warned us about?
