The Handmaid's Tale, written by Margaret Atwood, is a dystopian novel set in a totalitarian society where women are subjugated and used for reproductive purposes. The story follows Offred, a handmaid who is forced to bear children for the ruling class. Atwood's haunting portrayal of a society where women's rights have been stripped away and reproductive technology is used as a tool of control makes The Handmaid's Tale a powerful and unsettling read that touches on transhumanist themes of reproductive technology and societal control.
