The Parable of the Sower Octavia E. Butler

From the mother of Afro-Futurism, a dystopian tale set in a near-future, climate-ravaged Los Angeles. Lauren Olamina, our heroine, creates a new religion called Earthseed as she flees the collapse of her gated community. This 1993 book has a fascist president with the slogan "Make America Great Again", which, for the record was a slogan from Ronald Regan, so yeah, Trump even stole THAT. BONUS: Buy your copy, and the sequel, Parable of the Talents, up from Octavia's Bookshelf in Pasadena. It's only right that you buy it form a bookstore in Butlers hometown. Sadly, Butler died before completing the trilogy.
