Parable of the Talents by Octavia E Butler

I read this book because it's another Nebula Awards winner, I didn't check if it was part of a saga, I've just discovered it, so as far as I can tell, you can read the book which is the second of the saga and not miss the previous book.

It's a good novel of a distopian future where the US have collapsed and a christian fundamentalist movement reach the power and enslaves those they don't like. Torquemada's inquisition back in the 21st Century, it's easy to imagine for those who live nowadays in Catalonia and see how those christian inquisitors are still in their chairs ruling Spain.

So I would recommend everyone this book, as a reminder of what can happen if we choose rulers who don't invest in education.
