    The handmaids tale is in the same category of future predictor books as 1984.

      I agree, but people should also read Octavia Butler’s two books, The Parable of the Sower and The Parable of the Talents, about how she saw the future of America going before her death in 2006.

      The second book, I am not kidding, involves a populist presidential candidate running on a “Make America Great Again” platform.
