Description
In Margaret Atwood's thought-provoking novel, the human heart is put to the ultimate test in a world where survival depends on sacrifice. Stan and Charmaine, a married couple struggling to cope with economic collapse, are forced to live in their car until they stumble upon an opportunity that seems too good to be true.
The Positron Project offers a comfortable home for six months of the year, but at a steep price: residents must serve time in a prison system on alternating months. As Charmaine becomes embroiled in a romantic relationship with her housemate during one of these periods, the lines between reality and exploitation begin to blur.
As the story unfolds, Atwood's vision of a dystopian society raises uncomfortable questions about the true cost of survival and the nature of humanity. A chilling and thought-provoking read, this novel is a worthwhile read for fans of literary fiction and science fiction alike.
