So far, my favorite of Butler's books that aren't just eerily prescient depictions of a political-turned-social distopia [sic]. It's also a better examination of slavery vs. a life lived freely. Less a world-building series-starter than a primer on the extremes that people can reach both in ability and emotional capacity. 1/10/23
