Post # 2- Science Fiction

Atwood's vision of the future scares me the most. Probally because of the treatment of women throughout the book as sex slaves and having the job of only bearing children for the men. Offred's life is really sad because she is not allowed to see her daughter and she is forced into a life that she does not like and gets punished for things she can not help. This view of the future could possibly happen but I am not sure that it would happen here in America

In Oryx and Crake Atwood's vision of the futre is probally the most and least realistic at the same time. I feel like the end of the human kind will be in some way human kinds own fault but I do not think that what will take over the world is our own creations (pigoons and whatnot). But the earth will convert back to what it was like before their were humans to destroy the earth.

V for Vendetta, I believe is what will more than likely happen for the future. Because a lot of it has already happened somewhere in the world. "The Big Brother" civilization have pretty much already happened in some part of the world so if somewhere in the world a "Big Brother" starts to take over this is very possible to happen. I think with laws coming into effect in America the government is getting closer and closer to this especially after nine- eleven.
