Book #2 in my banned books series:
The Handmaid’s Tale
Some stories are banned because they’re inappropriate.
Others are banned because they’re too honest.
This one?
It forces you to sit with uncomfortable questions about power, control, and autonomy.
And that’s exactly why I’m reading it.

A definitive guide to the American political dystopia — from Fahrenheit 451's burning books to Octavia Butler's eerily prescient 2024, Philip K. Dick's manufactured realities, Ursula Le Guin's anarchist ambiguity, and N.K. Jemisin's enslaved geological workers. Why these five writers share a single tradition, and what that tradition demands of the reader.
Why 2096? The year is not arbitrary — it is load-bearing. A personal essay on the distance, symbolism, and storytelling logic that made 2096 the only possible home for the Shards of a Shattered Sky trilogy.
