I've read the book many times and one thing that really stuck with me was when the main character had her bank account frozen, along with all the other accounts with an F for the account holder's gender. I don't keep a pirate stash of cash in the house, but enough to get me gas and provisions. No I am not paranoid.
But anyways I am glad to see a whole series set within this dystopic universe. I can't wait to see how they portray the seedy nightclub for the higher- ups.
Also, I remember the phrase Offred said when her male assignment gave her the old magazines which were all rumored to have been burned. WTE "that which is deemed dangerous to the common folk is considered .... " Oh I can't remember it!I need to find my copy now......
ETA quote mentioned above.....
" What's dangerous in the hands of the multitudes is safe enough for those whose motives are beyond reproach."
Chew on that for a while.
