Four years away from the dystopian Sci-Fi nightmare Octavia Butler published in 1993, the year 2020 continues to serve as its real-life prequel.  In this episode of Sci-Fi Carnival, Maryck Allyson and James Robinson nerd-out over Octavia Butler’s Parable Series and the devolving mess that is 2020. We dive into it all:  Earthseed, COVID-19, acorn bread, cities ablaze, Christian slave camps, etc. So grab your prepper go-bags, as we walk through the cautionary tales, that no one is bothering to heed.
