“Atwood, who predicted a dystopian future where women are stripped of all their rights and raped so that they can give birth to babies for the elite, is called “The Oracle.” The text for her claimed, “Our 2019 Lifetime Achievement winner’s terrifying literary predictions are truer than ever, but so is her faith in women.” Actually, none of her predictions have come true.”
When this book was published and they made the first movie, In response to hysterics Atwood said it was just a story.
I read where she also stated that it was suppose to represent an Islamic like theocracy. Wonder who chose to make it represent Christianity??
These people are just sheer idiots.

She was late to the game.
Harlan Ellison wrote about a dystopian future (after World War IV) in “A Boy And His Dog” (actually a short series of stories about a boy and his dog). It was adapted as a movie in 1975 starring Don Johnson.
Don’s character is a surface dweller (picture Mad Max without all the cars). At a movie tent he meets a woman who uses sex to lure him to her underground community. Sterility has impacted their society and he is to help breed their women. He’s all excited to do his duty only they hook him up to a milking machine and have serial brides walk past him briefly getting “married” as they collect all they needed from him in life (in a test tube).
