 resource club for our second meeting\, after the genreal meeting on Wednes
 day September 24th\, where we will discuss Parable of the Sower by Octavia
  Butler. All are welcome! Be sure to RSVP to get the location.\n\nParable 
 of the Sower is a 1993 speculative fiction novel by American writer Octavi
 a E. Butler. It is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by cli
 mate change and social inequality. The novel follows Lauren Olamina\, a yo
 ung woman who can feel the pain of others and becomes displaced from her h
 ome. Several characters from various walks of life join her on her journey
  north and learn of a religion she has envisioned and titled Earthseed. Th
 e main tenets of Earthseed are that "God is Change" and believers can "sha
 pe God" through conscious effort to influence the changes around them. Ear
 thseed also teaches that it is humanity's destiny to inhabit other planets
  and spread the "seeds" of the Earth.\n\nParable of the Sower was the winn
 er of multiple awards\, including the 1994 New York Times Notable Book of 
 the Year\, and has been adapted into an opera and a graphic novel. Parable
  of the Sower has influenced music and essays on social justice as well as
  climate change. In 2021\, it was picked by readers of the New York Times 
 as the top science fiction nomination for the best book of the last 125 ye
 ars.
