Parable of the Sower
takes a scary look into the future of America, a world of slavery, rampant drug
abuse, and poverty. The destructive
actions of man have sent the world into a sharp environmental decline, full of
climate change and withering forests.
All Lauren can do to survive is find a community of her own and cling to
her idea of God.
In a way, that’s what people have been doing for
centuries. Religion is more than an
explanation of how the world came to be.
For those who truly believe, religion becomes part of life. It is how Lauren puts it on page 262, “What I
am now, all that I am is Earthseed.”
When times are truly at their worst, religion thrives at its best.
