Mistigram: it is often said that science fiction is a lens through which one views the present from the perspective of the future. However, unlike time, social issues don’t only move in one direction, so this #asciiart image by @thatgrrl (Twitter) allows us to simultaneously view the recent past and a possible near future (and indeed, for many, a disappointing present), one seemingly informed by the formerly retrofuturistic sci-fi thinking of author Margaret Atwood in her 1985 novel The Handaid’s Tale. https://instagr.am/p/Cd1Krwhu34p/
