Fledgling

(I hope it’s not set in the same Christian Nationalist dystopian setting as her Earthseed novels, which were eerily prescient and practically foretold our current political reality.)

God is neither good nor evil,
neither loving

God is Power.
God is Change.
We must find the rest of what we need
within ourselves,
in one another,
in our Destiny.

Self is.
Self is body and bodily
perception. Self is thought, memory,
belief. Self creates. Self destroys. Self
learns, discovers, becomes. Self
shapes. Self adapts. Self invents its
own reasons for being. To shape
God, shape Self.

Fear quails,
Irrational and blind,
Or fear looms,
Defiant and closed.

Each move toward the Destiny,

New worlds,
A rebirth of Earthseed.

We join.
We are purposeful

#SFFChat A3: I stopped following must-read lists bc our reasons for working in our genres might be v different. I find personal faves serve better for building process foundations.
Wrt the classics, my faves include LeGuin's Earthsea (Tomb and Tehanu) & Butler's Earthseed series (Talents)

Currently reading Octavia E. Butler's Earthseed trilogy.
Its probably the best 'cyberpunk' without being cyber or punk I've read, as it heavily focuses on the common everyday people who have to live through a socially collapsing world rather then some elite cliche of criminals or action heroes.
