  5. “The note on Newspeak at the end of 1984 is written in standard English in the past tense, which tells us that Newspeak did not persist,” #Atwood said. “It did not win.” Nor did #BigBrother, in the #dystopian vision of #GeorgeOrwell. Here’s my Nov. piece on it. doncurren.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

  8. The Atwood Propane Gas detector in our RV has reached its 84 months EOL. I know this because it's flashing its orange light, and beeping every minute or so. Neither of these behaviors is stopped by the Mute / Test button. The only way to stop the noise is to kill power to it, living us completely unprotected until a replacement arrives.

    Do product designers not think of these things? What if that had started in the middle of the night? Was EOL really 84 months ±1 minute?!

  13. The #Handmaid’s Tale has become more and more plausible

    Margaret #Atwood has said the plot of her book The Handmaid’s Tale, which tells a story of an #authoritarian #regime under which women are forced to reproduce, has become “more and more plausible” in recent years.

    Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, Atwood said she believed the plot was “bonkers” when she first developed the concept for the novel because the #US was the “ #democratic ideal ” at the time.

  18. Thanks for posting this beautiful interview by Lisa Allerdice with Margaret Atwood.

    For The Handmaid’s Tale, Atwood decided to include atrocities that had actually happened.

    Is it true? Is it fair? And cui bono? Who profits? She will ask on any issue.

    When an old person dies, “it is not a tragedy”, she reflects, “it is the culmination of their life”.

    As she walks across the campus, there are audible gasps from students.
