At the time it was written, Parable of the Sower envisioned a realistic (albeit depressing) view of a world 30 years in the future. That world is … not so different from the one we’re inhabiting.
Butler understood the SF writer’s maxim that the best of them are more commenting on the present than trying to predict the future. None-the-less, she did a depressingly good job at doing the latter.
