The Visions of Octavia Butler

 

As a science fiction writer, Butler forged a new path and envisioned bold possibilities. On the eve of a major revival of her work, this is the story of how she came to see a future that is now our present.

This is very interesting! @Troy

I can't believe that this is becoming a drama series after she died!

She was very creative. 

But if I were to be able to write as she has done so successfully, I would want to be alive to be able to spend the money generated from the success. Man!

This reminds me of what Monique said about Black women being elevated and acknowledged after they are dead.

Yes, I’m sure Octavia would have loved to see her work on TV. I always thought Kindred would make a good film. I’m looking forward to seeing the series.
