About This Item
Harper, 2017. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition/printing with book and jacket (in a protector) each in Near Fine condition only because of a small area of light scratching on the front dj panel through to the front board. Signed by the famous author of indigenous tales, Erdrich, on a tipped in special page by the publisher. "Future Home of the Living God (2017), which is set in an almost snowless Near Future Dystopian America where Climate Change and Ecological vandalism seem to have contributed to a savage decline in fertility throughout all the species home to this planet, with Homo sapiens suffering in particular; the huge number of failed human births and dysfunctional Mutations has in fact led to an argument that Evolution has somehow been reversed (see Devolution). Faced with these challenges, the American government has turned even more right-wing, and has applied theological sanctions against women - the novel has clear affinities with Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale (1985) - who are subject to "gravid female detention" if they are found to be pregnant (see Religion; Sex; Women in SF). The protagonist, who has been betrayed into government hands, must attempt to escape. " [JC] Encyclopedia of SF, Internet.
