Solid dystopia book
The thing that interested me most was how Butler approaches the role of religion in surviving dystopia, not so much the world itself and how it got to be that way (which wasn't discussed as much as one would expect)
Bit bare minimum but I did appreciate that this book takes gender and race into account in building its dystopia
Butler's writing style is nice and direct (which I really liked because it made it easier to read)
