Text 7A3-I  

    As a science fiction writer, Octavia Butler forged a new
path and envisioned bold possibilities. The future she wrote
about is now our present moment. She wrote 12 novels and won
each of science fiction’s highest honors. In 1995, she became the
first science fiction writer to be awarded a MacArthur “genius”
grant. She is also, increasingly, a writer recognized as one of the
most important voices and visionaries of the 20^th century, and
now the 21^st. As a Black woman and a writer, Butler demolished
walls that seemed impermeable, writing on themes that seemed
uncategorizable. Her ideas and characters continue to resonate
with new readers when so many are looking for, if not hope, then
a map for a way forward.

    Her vision about the climate crisis, political and societal
upheaval and the brutality and consequences of power
hierarchies seems both sobering and prescient. However, as
Butler often noted, being right was never the point. She didn’t
want to be right — far from it. She wanted to give us time, and
tools, to correct the course.
