I have lived every book I've ever read by Octavia E. Butler, this one being no exception. "Wild Seed" is equal parts compelling and disturbing. I will absolutely put the rest of the Patternist saga on my reading list.

Octavia Butler had the most brilliant imagination. Her stories set the bar for great science fiction in mind., and Wild Seed is my favorite of her stories.

Both genius and extremely uncomfortable to read. I had no clue the book’s major theme was literal eugenics and it was a bit of a shock to say the least !! However it is an extremely good book, I just hate that Doro and Anyanwu end up together despite the CENTURIES? of abuse on his part. She deserves so much better for real.
Also there were a bunch of spelling mistakes in my copy (a used, old one) which made me laugh every time
