Earthseed
Earthseed is a fictional religion based on the idea that "God is Change." It is the creation of Octavia E. Butler, as revealed by her character Lauren Oya Olamina in the books: ''Parable of the Sower'' and ''Parable of the Talents''. (A third book of the trilogy, ''Parable of the Trickster'', was not completed before Butler's death.)
== Background ==
''Parable of the Sower'' is a futuristic, dystopian, science-fiction novel. In its reality, the United States has devolved into states and/or city-states warring for the few remaining resources. Life is cheap, and the economy is becoming reborn as company towns.
The main character in ''Parable of the Sower'', Lauren Olamina, is the daughter of a Baptist minister who serves their walled-in neighborhood. Because of her mother's addiction to a prescription drug, Olamina suffers from ''hyperempathy'', which causes her to share pain or perceived pain with any living creature she sees. When her community is attacked, burned, and looted, seventeen-year-old Olamina barely escapes with her life. She travels, at great danger, into northern California in search of a haven where she and others can build the first Earthseed community.
The beliefs of Earthseed are recorded in the fictional book ''Earthseed: The Books of the Living''. Olamina "writes" in short, poetic passages. Portions of this text are presented at the beginning of each section, some chapters, and occasionally throughout the text. The philosophy of Earthseed also underlies the motivations of some of the characters in these novels.
