In this episode, Liz and I are talking about Octavia Butler's masterpiece: <u>Parable of the Sower</u>! This book was written over 50 years ago and is... spot on for a lot of things going on the world today?! Why is the government of a failing nation focusing on space exploration? Why are some people apathetic and others hyper-empathetic? Do people still have sexual appetites in times of crisis? Obviously Butler is a queen and Liz and I talk all about these questions and more while giggling for an hour straight.</p>","author_name":"Basically an Expert"}
