http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/tbozick/6545 A few years back I read Octavia Butler's Xenogenesis trilogy and I thought it was some of the most intelligent science fiction I've read. Butler takes us through a world of colonization and slavery through Dawn, Adulthood Rites and Imago. Aliens come to Earth in search of resources and plan to mix with humans for genetic diversity. The humans don't have much choice and have to hear how superior the aliens' genes are. But the aliens also criticize the humans' hierarchical way of thinking. When the main character Lilith has a hybrid son with one of the aliens, he fights for humans to once again mate on their own and rekindle humanity. Butler uses metaphor to criticize human nature and provides insight into the psychology of a race of people being dominated by another. Her fiction also discusses how humans use up environmental resources and simply go to another place for more.
