Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich

5.0

---

This book takes certain toxic threads of our society and politics that, left unchecked by democracy and human rights, mutate in terrible ways. It isn't that far of a stretch. It's less of a stretch than The Handmaid's Tale. The way it's presented is so effective it's easy to see how this could no longer be fiction, and it's terrifying. Sometimes it feels like we're much closer to the world of this book than we think.
