Technology and The Handmaid’s Tale

In The Handmaid’s Tale technology seems to have reversed.

Technology as we know it seems to have been largely removed from this society. Interestingly, this rejection of technology includes medical techniques to help deal with problems of infertility even though it is such a struggle to conceive a child in this society.
