Am I the only person who's ever noticed that The Handmaid's Tale is basically just "If This Goes On--" redone from Judith's POV? Oh, and with a much less healthy outlook on sex?

(and considering Heinlein's oh-so-normal views of sex, that's saying something.)

Yep. The two are very similar. I wonder if Atwood ever read Heinlein...

I'm sure she would deny it if she had.
