Lauren Olamina is an empath, crippled by the pain of others. One night, violence explodes, and the walls of her neighborhood are smashed, annihilating Lauren’s family and friends. Now the empath must face the world outside.
Forced to flee an America where anarchy and violence have completely taken over, empath Lauren Olamina--who can feel the pain of others and is crippled by it--becomes a prophet carrying the hope of a new world and a new faith christened "Earthseed."

Review of 'La parábola del sembrador' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Me deja un poco frío la idea de religión como sustituto del resto de las instituciones sociales en un tiempo apocalíptico, y no acabo de ver qué papel juega la hiperempatía en todo esto, si es mero atrezzo o un elemento verdaderamene importante. Lo veremos en el volumen dos.
Desde luego es un terreno de juego completamente diferente del de Xenogénesis.
