'Octavia Butler was playing out our very real possibilities as
humans. I think she can help each of us to do the same' GLORIA
STEINEM 'Her evocative, often troubling, novels explore
far-reaching issues of race, sex, power and, ultimately, what it
means to be human' NEW YORK TIMES From the groundbreaking,
award-winning author of Parable of the Sower: one young man with
extraordinary gifts must reconcile his own heritage before he can
change the fate of humanity. Lilith's son Akin looks like an
ordinary child. His family live together on Earth, but not in
complete peace. The Oankali saved humanity years before, compelled
by the desire to create an extraordinary new race of children. But
there are those who resist the Oankali and the salvation they
offer. The first of his kind, Akin is more powerful than any other
being. He understands the desire to fight for the independence of
humanity. He also fears that, if left alone, humanity will destroy
itself again. And when young Akin is stolen from Lilith and their
hybrid family, he soon faces an impossible choice. But first he
must reconcile with his own heritage in a world already torn in
two. PRAISE FOR OCTAVIA E. BUTLER, THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING
AUTHOR 'In the ongoing contest over which dystopian classic is most
applicable to our time... for sheer peculiar prescience, Butler's
novel may be unmatched' NEW YORKER 'Butler's prose, always pared
back to the bone, delineates the painful paradoxes of metamorphosis
with compelling precision' GUARDIAN 'Octavia Butler was a
visionary' VIOLA DAVIS 'One of the most significant literary
artists of the twentieth century. One cannot exaggerate the impact
she has had' JUNOT DIAZ 'An icon of the Afrofuturism world,
envisioning literary realms that placed black characters front and
center' VANITY FAIR 'Butler writes with such a familiarity that the
alien is welcome and intriguing. She really artfully exposes our
human impulse to self-destruct' LUPITA NYONG'O
