Octavia Butler I consider a prophetic genius, as is shown out in her 1993 masterpiece of Speculative Fiction, PARABLE OF THE SOWER (followed by 1998's PARABLE OF THE TALENTS). Not only did Ms. Butler prophesy Climate change, natural disasters, economic trauma and societal collapse [and yes, imminent political fascism as citizens seek a leader with a firm hand on policy], she also accurately timed it, as the novel erupts in an already Dystopian 2024 and on into 2025.
