Octavia Butler’s Vision of 2024 with Dr. Ayana Jamieson
The novel “Parable of the Sower” by Octavia Butler begins in the year 2024 – in a world where democracy is at stake, a climate crisis rages, and extremist politicians are on the rise. Octavia Butler published her book in 1993. So … how did she predict the future? And what can her writing teach us about the world we live in today? Octavia Butler scholar Dr. Ayana Jamieson joins the show to help Errin answer these questions – and more.
