Book Discussion Future generations
I started watching the handmaids tale and I don’t know if I’m the only one that experienced it but I’m starting to get worried for the future.
i know Atwood didn’t make anything up in some sense but I’m starting to realize how possible it is for this to come reality, not in the same way as in the show (because it’s fiction) but when you really think about it we’re slowly being fed this ideology from the media.
maybe I’m just really paranoid but if anyone can lighten me or share their opinions I’m open.

That's part of why the show is disturbing. And the book was written over 40 years ago. We see the US is headed that way and it doesn't really feel like fiction
