As I’ve said previously, Amazon Prime members can get a free Kindle version of The Handmaid’s Tale. While rereading it, I have found many passages that are eerily prophetic, but this one deserves to be shared:

“It was after the catastrophe, when they shot the president and machine-gunned the Congress and the army declared a state of emergency. They blamed it on the Islamic fanatics, at the time.” from “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood

Nope, of feeling fatalistic at all…
