"An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes" - Sun Tzu

Octavia Butler - Parable of the Sower
In 1993, Octavia wrote about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won the office with campaign slogan to "make america great again"

The parallels of this book and current day are staggering.

"We should measure the prosperity of a nation not by the number of millionaires, but by the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the efficiency of the public schools, and the number of people who can and do read worthwhile books."

W.E.B. Du Bois- American writer, historian, social reformer
