  Argument:
  Science fiction is really about the present, the only difference in the story and the beliefs is that the future just presents the contemporary problems that are dealt with in an unsafe manner, incorrect procedure, or just not taken care of. You can see in Margaret Atwood's novella the correlation to the modern problems seen across the world, and the plot within the story.
  
  Evidence:
  During the novel there are members of society who are so desperate for work that they will work anywhere no matter what they must do. "SecretBurgers! Because Everyone Loves a Secret!" this is just one of numerous examples that are shown in the book. The author could be trying to make the point with this example that the people of the world should not focus so much on the money or even the ideal that money now rules the world, not so much moral or even rules.
  
  Thoughts:
  I believe that Margarett Atwood brings important issues to the table without actually having to present them. Another clever idea that is found in the book would be how the characters presented in the story represent members of the 21st century society.
