[FRIAM] Octavia Butler's prophetic voice

[Steve Smith]

Octavia Butler died abruptly 15 years ago with only two books of her
multipart "Parable" (or more commonly Earthseed) series completed.   She
was an incredibly deep and perceptive thinker about social issues across
many domains (authoritarian movements, social justice, climate change,
etc.) which have come to be central to our lives decades later.

    /Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.//
    //To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward
    fears. //
    //To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control
    the fool.//
    //To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures
    to be stolen.//
    //To be led by a liar is to ask to be lied to.//
    //To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into
    slavery.
