I am now reading a book called "The Handmaid's Tale", written by Margaret Atwood. This is a kind of furturist fiction. The main scene is set in a postwar time. The real time frame is unknown (or that I've not read about yet). After the war, women became sterile. So the few available fertile women are used as mating stock, living in compounds ruled by a group of staff of Commanders. These women are called Handmaids, whose main function is to mate with the Commanders and bear their children. I just started this book, so what I know about this book is mostly from the introduction on the backcover. This book appeals to me because it reflects some realities that have taken plce in our world, and it riches in different thoughts from what we think about the world where we live. Hopefully I can finish this book soon, though it is not an easy read. By the way, this fiction was already adapted for a movie with the same name. --
