"Maybe Octavia Butler’s “Dawn” (set in a future where the remnants of the human race are forced to “trade” genes (read: breed involuntarily) with our new alien overlords)."

"I recently picked up "Dawn," by Octavia E. Butler, and I was stunned by how relevant the themes of the book are to today. She really artfully exposes our human impulse to self-destruct."
