Books you should have read

Blessed be the fruit - and all women worldwide who have experienced oppression at the hands of human beings. In Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel set in the near-future(?), Offred tells us what the new regime is like and how religious extremists have turned women into breeding machines. The Handmaid’s Tale is more important than uplifting and all the more reason to better understand how oppression operates.

Ep 25 - World War Z

A pandemic, an election and a shooting. It was not easy to find a book that was even darker than the real world these days. So we decided to throw some zombies into the mix. In this month's episode we talk about World War Z. Here's to hoping that this stays a dystopian fiction.
