Margaret Atwood places the human center to the best test in an utterly fantastic new novel that is as visionary as The Handmaid's Story so that richly imagined as The Blind Assassin. Stan and Charmaine are a married couple trying to remain afloat amid an monetary and social collapse. Job loss has forced these to are in their car, going out of them vulnerable to roving gangs. They frantically need to carefully turn their situation around - and fast. The Positron Task in the town of Consilience appears to be the response to their prayers. No-one is unemployed, and everyone gets a comfortable, clean house to live in...for six months from the time. On alternating a few months, residents of Consilience must leave their homes and function as inmates in the Positron jail system. Once their month of service in the jail is completed, they can return to their "civilian" homes. At first this doesn't seem like too much of a sacrifice to make to be able to have a roofing over one's head and food to consume. But when Charmaine becomes romantically associated with the person who lives in their home during the a few months when she and Stan are in the jail, a series of troubling situations unfolds, adding Stan's life in danger. With each passing day, Positron looks less just like a prayer responded to and similar to a chilling prophecy satisfied.
