In this episode, we dig into Parable of the Sower—a dystopian tale that feels a little too real. From Lauren’s spiritual evolution to the gritty realities of survival, we talk about how Octavia E. Butler’s vision of the “future” hits uncomfortably close to home. Plus: the pros and cons of reading hard-hitting stories in audiobook, graphic novel, and good ol’ physical form. Spoiler: no format made this emotionally easier. 🌍📖🔥
