  • Curated in COSMIC GREATNESS: 21 OF THE BEST AWARD-WINNING SCI-FI BOOKS
Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower is a book I recommend often, though this sequel was the one to win a Nebula Award. Having survived the destruction of her home and founded a new religion, Lauren has established a peaceful community. But when an ultra-conservative president takes power, his followers see Lauren’s people as a target.
