| Why it’s on the list | Butler’s 1993 novel of a California coming apart — climate collapse, walled neighbourhoods, water priced out of reach — and the young woman who writes a religion on the road north. |
Where I heard about it
- Jack Edwards (@jack_edwards) — recommended in a BookTok video of books to read before they, too, are banned.
Connections
- Science Fiction — the form.
- Dystopia — the register.
- Climate Change — the collapse Butler wrote before it was a genre.
Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
