I read BNW, I read Animal Farm, and I know about 1984. Guess the news won't relate the Animal Farm' sheep to NPCs, the news casters themselves, or the staged riot chants...
Until this thread, I thought Handmaiden's Tale was some weird Bronte-esque romance lit that could somehow be related to imagined misogyny... or something? What is this book?
I actually watched the series and found it was good entertainment. I like dystopian stories like that though. The closest way to explain it would be to imagine if the Taliban were Christian and not Muslim, and took over the US. It’s so extreme that no true Christian would ever participate, and the real story is about power and hypocrisy, not religion. But of course, the Left can’t do anything without being completely insane, so they work themselves up into frenzied hysteria with fictional props.
I liked the dystopian part too, not the religious stuff. If only a handful of women could reproduce, how much freedom of choice would they still be allowed to have, for the sake of the human race?
I own BNW and have read all 3 but years ago I feel like I'm over due another reading of Orwell's books and got to throw in lord of the flies in there since it's another good one. Fahrenheit 451 is another one deserving of a mention. I simply love dystopian novels
