"He really did love these women, sort of. He really did want to make them feel better. It was just that he had a short attention span."
Margaret Atwood, "Oryx and Crake"

Blurb from Oryx and Crake by Atwood.
I fell down an Atwood rabbit hole. Cat’s Eye blew my mind and now Oryx and Crake is getting under my skin. She makes you feel things.

I am dying to know what you all think of Jimmy, as his Jimmy self and as his Snowman self if you wanna separate out?

Surprised at the mention of *orn and the inclusion of children? Paints a stark picture of the before world. But also scarily on point given our current Pres/files.

Oryx and Crake blurb from Google.
Did it take awhile for you all to realize Jimmy and Snowman are one and the same? I figured it out immediately but still looked it up to be sure.
This description of the Crakers chills me. Also, Biblical, much?

#BookClubGang, I’m reading the last bit of chapter 5 like a good little girl.

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood (2003): A Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
#OryxandCrake #MargaretAtwood #BookReview #Review #Booksky
Is it considered evolution if we genetically engineer the species that will replace us? #OryxAndCrake
Agree, but I’d put us closer to medieval #Tudor England Henry VIII style. But the tech version of it actually super well laid out in the scariest and most prescient dystopian novel I’ve ever read: #MaddAdam trilogy, specifically #OryxAndCrake @margaretatwood.bsky.social #Booksky
This is the literal corporate dystopian apocalypse @margaretatwood.bsky.social wrote in #OryxAndCrake, part of the MaddAddam Trilogy.
I’m a major dystopia genre reader. And that book is hands down the most frightening version I’ve ever read. Because even then it felt prescient AF. #Booksky
Reminds me of Atwood’s Oryx and Crake trilogy.

Published in 2003, #MargaretAtwood predicted artificially generated slop and its impact on the Arts.
It’s weird when you’re reading a two+ decade old science fiction book only to realize you’re living it…

Have never been happier that my paranoia about corporations owning my DNA means I never did this.
Thx @margaretatwood.bsky.social for #OryxAndCrake which def influenced my decision on this front :-) #BookSky
Accurate. Tho honestly a big miss leaving out #OryxAndCrake by @margaretatwood.bsky.social which is, alongside #ParableOfTheSower by #OctaviaButler, imho the most accurate description of MAGA’s dystopian hellscape. Honorable mention to #WomanOnTheEdgeOfTime by #MargePiercy too. #Booksky
This feels like the evolution from early 20th century US “company towns” to “free trade economic zones” set up in developing countries post NAFTA to now full scale #MargretAtwood #OryxAndCrake style techno corporate fascist cities.
Why does she always know the future? Her and #OctaviaButler…
i've read some off the wall things over the years and some are just down right prophetic. this is the first in the maddaddam trilogy by margaret atwwod.

I wish that "Oryx and Crake" was a more popular book. In a dystopian time like this, it's more relevant than ever.
I think regulary about that story, and it changed me fundamentally.
