Despite the novel's current air of timeliness, the contours of the dystopian future that Atwood imagined in the eighties do not map closely onto the present moment—although recent news images of asylum seekers fleeing across the U.S. border into Canada have a chilling resonance with the opening moments of the television series, which shows Moss, not yet enlisted as a Handmaid, attempting to escape from the U.S. to its northern neighbor, where democracy prevails.

As visions of the future increasingly fail in the face of our present moment, literary authors are increasingly looking back, not to comfort us with a sense of known past, or even an easy allegory of the present, but instead — motivated by a kind of clue-gathering — to seek reasons for why we are the way we are and how we got here, and at what point the train began to derail.

I wanted to find some way to incorporate into the book 9/11 itself, even though that's a hard thing to write about, because it seems to me like — in retrospect, it didn't feel like it at the time — but that was the beginning of a long political reaction in this country, that took us from what felt like a place of great political and spiritual solidarity, to something like the present moment, where the whole notion of collective action, the idea that that your problems are in any way my problems, is deeply suspect; this kind of political regression, I guess.
