Parable of the Talents

The Parable of the Talents picks up right where Parable of the Sower leaves off, completing Lauren Olamina’s story arc by illustrating how she spends the rest of her days building and rebuilding her spiritual community, Earthseed. Interwoven with this narrative are short journal entries written posthumously by Lauren’s daughter, in which an outside and critical perspective on Earthseed is boldly shared. This book achieves a rare feat: threading the needle between science fiction, philosophy, geopolitics, and (now) historical fiction.
