First, yes everything by Octavia Butler is awesome!
!!!
Second, as a warning, imho, parable of the sower is beautiful but pretty harsh- painful. The following one, parable of the talents follows the story arcs into a bit more inspiring (hopeful?) direction, with some more kinda astonishingly correct predictions, and a lot deeper look into the beautiful of how society could be …
Yep that’s what I’ve heard about Parable of the Sower but all the more reason to read it. I work on a GPU cluster called Butler named after her (among others like Hemingway, Murakami, Asimov, and Kafka) so apparently she’s pretty good.

I personally do not believe Parable of the Sower is solarpunk because (for me) it does not demonstrate possible hopeful and sustainable futures.
