ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Heart Goes Last" by Margaret Atwood is a dystopian novel that explores themes of control and manipulation in a society where economic instability leads to social control. The story centers on Charmaine and Stan, a couple who, in desperate circumstances, join the Consilience/Positron Project, which promises security and a "meaningful life". They quickly discover that their lives are not their own anymore. They must navigate a complex world of alternating roles as prisoners and guards, while also dealing with the confusing presence of "Alternates" who live in their homes when they are not there. The narrative follows their struggle for freedom and autonomy as they confront the project's disturbing realities, including memory manipulation, and technological dehumanization, especially when Charmaine begins to feel an attraction to one of her Alternates. The novel questions the lengths people will go to for security and the potential dangers of unchecked power and technological advancement.
