this book may end up influencing my own religious beliefs, and it's a work of fiction. the belief is real, despite the book taking place in an alternate future of our world.
i do see where Butler is coming from with her depiction of what she was observing 30 years ago. we may still even get to the point of ecological and societal collapse she describes here, if we don't snap out of our war ridden ways.
amazing book. please read this.

The writing is engaging, the story devastating, and the whole concept deeply thought provoking.
So much of this story is terrifying and stomach churning and yet ….
Depressingly unsurprising.
Maybe that’s cynical but, or maybe it’s just a shame.
