I just read this article and thought you guys might find it interesting.

Dystopian dreams: how feminist science fiction predicted the future
https://www.theguardian.com/books/201...

Among the books mentioned in the article are the following:

Frankenstein
The Blazing World
Woman on the Edge of Time
The Handmaid's Tale
The Female Man
The Power
The Left Hand of Darkness

Parable of the Sower

Have we done a dystopian theme as a group read? Do we want to?

Oh, can I add one? Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower deals with a future US where environmental and economic chaos have led to collapse. I've been thinking for years now that this will likely be the result of President Trump and the alt-right movement.

We've read a few of those, but the others look like they'd make a perfectly good poll to me.

Right! That one was also in the article. Completely missed it. I updated the post.

I think Parable of the Sower was probably one of the first books we read as a group. Frankenstein I think it was our first Halloween pick.

We had buddy reads for both The Handmaid's Tale and The Female Man.

So it seems we have been reading the good stuff... :)

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
