The Future Is Disabled: Prophecies, Love Notes and Mourning Songs by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha

5.0

I read this in conjunction with Butler's Earthseed duology, which was a 10/10 experience I cannot recommend strongly enough. Even without the Parables pairing, though, this is a powerful work and a wonderful followup to Care Work. Piepzna-Samarasinha sugar coats nothing, but the reader is still left with a rising sense of hope at the end of the book. Even aside from the context, their writing style is just incredible (as is their narration! Top tier audio experience!) Octavia's Brood is next on my list, as soon as I have the mental fortitude for it.
