video    60 Minutes    10 November 2025

 

Margaret Atwood's fiction tells of future worlds

plagued by totalitarianism, environmental collapse, and global pandemic.

 

At 85,

she looks not forward but back at her own life in a new memoir.

 

"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history.

 

Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews,

feature segments and profiles of people in the news,

the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later,

regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.
