Radu Petru radu_petru9321 — Margaret Atwood is a true visionary. This is very clearly demonstrated by her novel, Oryx and Crake, which I believe is by far her best work. Her dystopian world is so scarily plausible! Think about what technology already exists--virtual reality, online real-time strategy computer gaming, and the like. Consider the class system and the whole notion of abandoning the middle class, creating elite communities, and placing power in the hands of large corporations. Contemplate those very corporations becoming society's new elite, while the poor regular people are left defenseless, in the dangerous and chaotic free land. What about the importance placed on physical beauty, using science for vanity's sake? It's happening now. There exists the all too real possibility of humankind's demise through man-made superviral catastrophe, disguised as miracle medicine. In a product every human covets. It's too believable. It's mind-blowing how Atwood imagines all this and wraps it around such a compelling tale. From the Oryx and Crake web site, in her words: “The what if of Oryx and Crake is simply, What if we continue down the road we're already on? How slippery is the slope? What are our saving graces? Who's got the will to stop us?” Wow. Really. Who's got the will to stop us? As much as I adore this genre, it's not the type of novel one can wholeheartedly recommend to others. I do realize not everyone wants her or his literature to be so devastating and bleak. The future of our humanity is something I am always pondering. I am drawn in to the “what if” premise immediately. Atwood's vision is a frightening one, and it seems all too close and realistic to me. I am both skeptical and fascinated when I read scientific studies on the advances being made in genetic engineering, nanotechnologies, robotics, and so forth. It seems that this sort of science moves us into a strange realm of redefining what it means to be human. I may be cynical when I think that the majority of humans, blinded by their own ambitious thinking, would not put a stop to new discoveries, but I have hope that we merely mortals do have the will to stop the technology before it consumes the human race.

Alexandre Duarte alecgd — overall good book. A little confusing at some parts: I didn't really know where she was when. but other than that I loved it. great characters.
