Maggie and Harmony explore a dystopian California in the 2020s with Octavia Butler\'s Parable of the Sower. This book recently made the New York Times bestseller list, in part, because of it\'s parallels to current day society. Our hosts explore empathy, gendered leadership, guns as a necessity for survival, and the role of faith in society\'s progression.
