Octavia E. Butler's Patternist series, also known as Seed to Harvest, is a collection of science fiction novels that chronicles an alternate human history stretching from ancient Africa to a post-apocalyptic future. The central conflict revolves around an immortal, body-snatching entity named Doro and his centuries-long quest to breed a master race of telepaths. This endeavor eventually divides humanity into three groups: the telepathic Patternists, the enslaved "mutes" (ordinary humans), and the mutated, animalistic Clayarks. 
The series is noted for its powerful explorations of themes related to power, identity, race, gender, and the ethical implications of genetic manipulation. 

The Patternist books in chronological order
While the books were published out of order, reading them chronologically provides the full, sweeping story of the Patternists' creation and eventual dominance. 

Wild Seed (1980)
The series' beginning, set in 17th-century Africa, introduces the immortal, body-snatching Doro and the powerful, shape-shifting healer Anyanwu. Doro takes Anyanwu with him to America, where he forces her to become the mother of his psychic "family." The novel explores their deeply complex, abusive, and interdependent relationship as Doro works to refine the psychic human race. 

"Wild Seed," a novel by Octavia E. Butler, explores the intricate relationship between two immortal beings: Doro, a powerful entity capable of transferring his essence into other bodies, and Anyanwu, an Onitsha-Ibo woman with extraordinary healing abilities and shape-shifting powers.

Great socks!
Size: Medium, Color: (252) Blush Beige / White / Castlerock
Love these socks so much I got a second package. I like how thin and airy they are and they never slide down my heel. For thin socks they’re pretty durable.

The best pair of work / workout / casual socks I've bought in long time! They're no show on all my sneakers, incredibly comfortable and they never move.

Best no-show socks ever!
Size: 6-10, Color: Black
If you're tired of wearing socks that slip off and show in your sneakers, then you need to try these amazing socks! They are designed to stay in place, even after being active all day. They are incredibly soft and comfortable, and they are truly no-show, so you won't see them at all. I've been using these socks for years and have never had any issues. In fact, I love them so much that I've bought multiple packs, and my family members have started using them too. Don't waste any more time with those annoying socks that slip off and show - give these a try and you won't be disappointed!

Seriously the best non slip low cut socks you can find. They stay in place all day and I love the fabric. They are thin which I prefer. These are really the only socks I wear.

Great socks for the price!
Size: 6-10, Color: Black, Size: 6-10, Color: Black
I love these socks, they are perfect no shows but the material is thick enough for toes not too go thru. The grip is perfect and keeps the sock in place all day. I would definitely order true to size as the fit was perfect. I was surprised to find these socks at the price I did, especially when I got the socks in both black and white.
