I have had the immeasurable pleasure to read several dystopian novels over the last few years and I have always found myself thinking that each one of them had perfectly succeeded in the process of representing different aspects of the discomfort and corruption which swarm about in our society. However, I believe there is a great gap between those novels and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale: while reading books such as Oliver's Delirium and Collins' The Hunger Games, I felt like the scenarios depicted in them represented a possibility, a slight but, nonetheless, creepy possibility of what could actually happen to the world we live in. Atwood's story, on the contrary, felt so unbelievably real and authentic that I, sometimes, had to close the book and think through what I had just read. The world described in The Handmaid's Tale is not a mere possibility, it is the exact depiction of where our society is currently heading.
