5.0
A dystopian society that I believe, one day, could truly happen.
I think the most enjoyable part of this book is how the attitudes, perceptions and preconceived opinions of some of the characters are very real. It's taken a societal attitude that could be said to be very real right now, and multiplied it by 10 through government laws and policies.
I really enjoyed it, especially the ending where I could see ideas/themes tying in with that of the Handmaid's Tale.
This will happily sit on my bookshelf to be read again and again.
I'd honestly also love to read about the journalists view in this dystopian universe, whereby there's more information and digging in terms of the science and politics.
