In the book "MaddAddam" by Margaret Atwood, a character is depicted as starting to recover from a state of disorientation brought on by her experiences with a man. This state is referred to as a "sex-induced coma," suggesting that her previous experiences with him have deeply affected her perception and consciousness.
This emotional and psychological awakening indicates a transition from passivity to regaining individual awareness. Her journey seems to reflect broader themes of personal agency and the impact of relationships on one's sense of self within the narrative.
