The Handmaiden’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

I actually went through a dystopia phase in late high school, having read 1984, Anthem, Brave New World and a couple of others all around the same time. I missed this one, and it’s been sitting on my shelf for years waiting for me to correct that.

( My commentary is a lot of politics. )

Overall: Atwood is a magnificent writer who paints a very vivid story with the emotion-based paint set. It remains a very good reminder not to let the anti-feminist religious nutjobs get power, though the worldbuilding has some significant holes when you really dig into it.
