A Mind trip

Citation:

Butler, Octavia E. Mind of My Mind. New York: Warner Books, Inc., 1977.

Annotation:

Mental telepathy and the ability to live on thru a series of host human bodies is the stuff of Science Fiction, or is it? Butler presents society in terms of the supernatural in a very realistic way, often forcing readers to remind themselves that what happens in this story is just that, a story.

Review:

Mary is a teenager who sets herself apart from others her age, but isn’t sure why. When she makes the transition everything becomes a little clearer, but she continues to struggle with her abilities to see into other people’s minds to read their thoughts. Almost involuntarily she begins to call people similar to herself, to her. As they arrive she begins to create a community of telepaths. Will they be able to live together or will they self destruct in the Mind of My Mind?

Genre: Science Fiction
