"Parable of the Sower is the Butlerian odyssey of one woman who is twice as feeling in a world that has become doubly dehumanized. The time is 2025. The place is California, where small walled communities must protect themselves from hordes of desperate scavengers and roaming bands of people addicted to a drug that activates an orgasmic desire to burn, rape, and murder. When one small community is overrun, Lauren Olamina, an 18 year old black woman with the hereditary train of "hyperempathy"--which causes her to feel others' pain as her own--sets off on foot along the dangerous coastal highways, moving north into the unknown"--… (mehr)

Well written in terms of character and world-building but it felt 'lite' almost conceited, a faint smug sense of 'I'm alright' all the way through and didn't properly capture the fear, uncertainty and unpreparedness the characters would actually have - which is ironic because that was part of the message it was trying to convey.

One of those the future is now books. Written decades ago, the opening is a futuristic 2024. We had managed to develop much better technology (although phones are close and not envisaged) but the trends of growing extremism and drug gang segregation, enclaves and no-go areas, have all risen much faster and overcome the world. Our heroine is living in a low-middle class such enclave surrounded by the mostly lawless and feral Outside. More feared than experienced. However the frequent attempts to break in are proof that at least some of the fears are real. It of course all comes crashing down and she's forced to flee, initially alone, but then with a small but growing crowed of trusted friends and companions to whom she preaches her new-though religion - why don't we all try to be nicer to each other.

I'm sure at the time it was ground-breaking and much disliked by many of the conservative side, even though it's portrays the evils of drugs etc. but I could never quite suspend my disbelief far enough, not just from the timeline, but also in how the enclaves and towns they passed through survived. Civilisation relies on a lot more integrated networks than seemed to exist. And all the people she met were either nice or obviously terrible, and the world just doesn't work that way. ( )

This is such a hard book to rate according to a 5 star system. I'd give it 4.5 if I could. In many ways it reminds me a great deal of [b:The Left Hand of Darkness|18423|The Left Hand of Darkness (Hainish Cycle #4)|Ursula K. Le Guin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1488213612l/18423._SY75_.jpg|817527]--in its plot structure and in some of its flaws. ( )

Dramatic post-apocalyptic world narrarive that serves as background to a philosophical discussion about god as change. Many interesting themes spring from the world of misery and violence.

A cult of firearms places the book in US context.

The religious tome sometimes takes away from believability of the story. ( )

I was expecting more from this book after hearing so much praise for so long. Objectively it's well done, especially the world-building. However, our protagonist strikes me as a Mary Sue and none of the characters are strongly drawn. I was borne along on the tide of story but never felt immersed by the plot. ( )
  fionaanne | Feb 27, 2024 |
I first read this a long time ago and love it. And since the book begins in 2024, I thought it was time to read it again. I think it was even more amazing this time. I didn't need to rush to the end to find out what happens. I took the book at a slow pace. I could recognize the various religious beliefs present in Lauren's thinking, especially Buddhism. And I could critique the ultimate goal of Earthseed to leave Earth entirely. I'm sorry Butler never got to write that third book, to send everyone into space, because, even though I disagree that space is the only way to save humanity, I still would have liked to see what she had to say about it.

Prodigy is, at its essence, adaptability and persistent, positive obsession. Without persistence, what remains is an enthusiasm of the moment. Without adaptability, what remains may be channeled into destructive fanaticism. Without positive obsession, there is nothing at all. -- EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING by Lauren Oya Olamina
