Synopsis

In a near-future California ravaged by climate change, economic collapse, and social chaos, young Lauren Olamina possesses hyperempathy — the ability to feel others' pain. When her walled community is destroyed, she journeys north, gathering followers around a new belief system she calls Earthseed, whose central tenet is that humanity's destiny lies among the stars.
