Abstract "Here in its entirety is Octavia E. Butler's wildly imaginative saga of human survival and transformation [...] Conceived against the backdrop of 1980s Cold War brinksmanship, these classics of Afrofuturist speculative fiction from the Hugo, Locus, and Nebula Award-winning author of Kindred and the Parable series asks prophetic questions about genetics and hybridity, colonization and consent, gender and sexuality, family and community, technology and the future of humankind."-- Provided by publisher.
Scope and content "This speculative fiction unfolds in the aftermath of nuclear apocalypse, when humanity's survival depends on an uneasy alliance with a gene-trading, shape-shifting alien species know as the Oankali, Across three astonishing novels -- Dawn, Adulthood Rites, and Imago -- Octavia E. Bulter explores the price of survival, the complexities of identity, and the possibilities of transformation. As Lilith Iyapo and her hybrid descendants navigate a world remade by extraterrestrial contact, Butler asks enduring questions about consent, coexistence, and what it means to be human. This definitive edition includes authoritative texts of the novels, a forward by national Book Award winner Imani Perry, and letters and notes from Butler's archive offering a rare glimpse into the creative process of one of the most visionary writers of the past century."
