1:14Now PlayingAs parts of California burn up in climate-fueled wildfires, many are revisiting science fiction author Octavia Butler's "Parable" series. Released in the '90s, the story begins in 2024 in a world of climate chaos, rampant inequality and fascism, including a politician campaigning to "make America great again." Butler explained her inspiration for the novels in a 2005 interview with Democracy Now! — one of the final interviews before her death just months later.
