Has a Texas law created ‘abortion bounty hunters’?

The novel is set in a near-future New England in the Republic of Gilead, a patriarchal, totalitarian state that has overthrown the United States government. Offred, the narrator, is one of the 'Handmaids', women who are forcibly assigned to produce children for the ruling class, known as 'Commanders'. The story explores themes of powerless women, loss of female agency and individuality, and the suppression of women's reproductive rights. Offred's life is marked by her restrictive routine, her memories of her past life, and her interactions with the Commander, his wife Serena Joy, and other Handmaids, including her friend Ofglen who is part of an underground resistance movement. The novel is a scathing satire, an ominous warning, and a tour de force of narrative suspense.

In 'The Minority Report', Philip K. Dick delves into a future society where the Precrime Division uses precognitive mutants to foresee and prevent crimes. The story follows John Anderton, the head of Precrime, who becomes embroiled in a conspiracy when he is predicted to commit a murder. As Anderton navigates this complex situation, he uncovers the concept of a 'minority report', which challenges the infallibility of the Precrime system and raises questions about free will and the nature of justice.
