The events of the past always leave deep enough scars to still be felt way into the future. The two works Androids and The Handmaid’s Tale Illustrate this by use of flashbacks specifically in the Handmaids tale. In regard to Androids, the lurking influence of the past can be seen in the alternate history that the novel itself follows and the subsequent events that spawn from the scars that the events created in the future world of Androids.
