Have you ever read any of Octavia Butlers’ Parable series? It’s been a while for me and my memory is shot but I recall them being very highly regarded speculative fiction, also with astute observations of where humankind is headed when SHTF. Don’t think I’m ready to reread them atm with how I’ve been feeling about the world lately
Yep. I liked some of them, but found others a bit too speculative. Ms Butler is good, don’t get me wrong, but Ms Elgin is better at the craft of writing.
