GREAT little serial novellas by Margaret Atwood. Takes place in a near future dystopia where everyone spends a month in prison and then a month in town as a 'civilian'. Everything is monitored and peaceful. You get three meals a day, a job, and a place to lay your head every night. The catch. Once you sign into this experimental new town, Consilience, you can't get out.
Has elements that feel a little reminiscent of 'The Handmaid's Tale' in it.
The story isn't over yet. Bet your bottom dollar I'm looking for installment 4.
