ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Dawn by Octavia Butler introduces Lilith Iyapo, a human woman who awakens on a vast alien ship centuries after Earth's self-destruction. She learns that an alien race called the Oankali rescued the surviving humans from the brink of extinction. The Oankali, beings with tentacled features and unique sensory organs, value genetic exchange and plan to interbreed with humanity to create a new hybrid species. Lilith is tasked with the difficult role of preparing her fellow humans to accept this reality and their eventual return to a changed Earth under Oankali influence. The narrative explores themes of survival, adaptation, what it means to be human, and the complex relationships that arise from the meeting of vastly different species.
