Nahlah Abdur-Rahman notes how prophetic Octavia Butler, a black woman writer with queer leanings, was, as we watch what's happening in Los Angeles now:

"Written in 1993, Parable of the Sower depicts a future Los Angeles. Eerily set in 2025, the city is ravaged by fires prompted by climate change and other environmental concerns. Moreover, these issues become worsened by racism and economic disparities."
