A New York Times Notable Book: In 2025, with the world descending into
madness and anarchy, one woman begins a fateful journey toward a
better future. “A stunner.” —Flea, musician and actor, TheWall
Street Journal Lauren Olamina and her family live in one of the
only safe neighborhoods remaining on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
Behind the walls of their defended enclave, Lauren’s father, a
preacher, and a handful of other citizens try to salvage what remains
of a culture that has been destroyed by drugs, disease, war, and
chronic water shortages. While her father tries to lead people on the
righteous path, Lauren struggles with hyperempathy, a condition that
makes her extraordinarily sensitive to the pain of others. When
fire destroys their compound, Lauren’s family is killed and she is
forced out into a world that is fraught with danger. With a handful of
other refugees, Lauren must make her way north to safety, along the
way conceiving a revolutionary idea that may mean salvation for all
mankind. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Octavia E.
Butler including rare images from the author’s estate.
