Synopsis
In acclaimed science-fiction author Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower , we find the world in 2025, crippled by global warming, pollution, and socio-cultural tensions. 'Hyperempath' Lauren Olamina, a black teenager living just outside Los Angeles, flees with her community to escape the dangerous pyromaniacs who are destroying the remainders of civilization. As she flees, she begins to preach her philosophy, her religion, called 'Earthseed' to the other refugees. "Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists that control the fool To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery."
