...Tale, her 1985 book about a U.S. controlled by Fundamentalist Christians. Here she sticks closely to the rules of dystopian writing. Civilization has succumbed to a calamity, in this case brought on by heedless bioengineering, the kind that sets loose viruses that melt down their victims like "pink sorbet on a barbecue." Then again, the world was asking for it, what with the webcast suicides, the rampant porn and the chickens altered genetically to consist of nothing but a mouth and a multitude of (barely) edible breasts. As for the social arrangements, the precatastrophe élite lived in walled compounds...

At Sugar, a swanky dessert bar in Chicago, a menu might include a palate-cleansing roasted-quince-in-cider soup ($6), followed by pomegranate gelatin with tangerine sorbet ($6) and Macdeth by Chocolate ($15). Boston's Finale does offer "pre-dessert" items, such as salads, but they're slipped onto the back of the menu so that diners can focus on delicacies like a Chocolate Indulgence tasting plate for two ($30).
