Octavia E. Butler's Patternist series traces a long history of people altered by unusual powers, selective breeding and disease. Wild Seed begins chronologically with the centuries-long conflict between the body-stealing immortal Doro and the shape-shifter Anyanwu; Mind of My Mind follows the telepathic community that grows from Doro's plans, Clay's Ark introduces a separate biological threat, and Patternmaster shows a far-future society shaped by those developments. Butler's official recommended order is Wild Seed, Mind of My Mind, Clay's Ark, Patternmaster, followed by the out-of-print Survivor if available. The books combine science fiction with power, family and the ethics of controlling other people. Read more Less
