npub1xj85k76848gaufkf7f8eqhtcwuykex5r02e8cqml520ps4ly8q4qn7egqe (npub1xj8…egqe) I read The Handmaid's Tale in the 80s and have not read a book by Margaret Atwood since. It was set in my city, which made it all the more real to me. For years, I could not walk past the gates of Harvard yard without visualizing bodies hanging there. Finally, over the decades, this let up a bit, but now it's back with a vengeance. Gibson is not like that. His writing is distopian, but hopeful.
