Malebo Sephodi
“whenever we encounter the name Octavia E. Butler, some of us feel a shift, a deep, spiritual resonance that defies comprehension. it doesn't matter how many times we engage with her words, that something lingers, stirring, moving, shifting. and as the timeline stretches, the reasons begin to reveal themselves. when the darkness swells in me, i return to these fragments of her life, hoping to witness the absolute breath and depth of my own words in this lifetime. because Octavia E. Butler showed us how.”
Malebo Sephodi

Mark T. Sneed
“The Martian history was not too different from that on Earth. The only exception was that people left the satellites and went to the surface of Mars and eventually after extensive construction found their way under a dozen domes on the red surface of the red planet. There, in the constructed safety of a domed environment the new Martians began to pollute and poison Mars as they had Earth. Garbage was a real problem. The consumption of foodstuffs created waste.”
