 Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood I recently read Oryx and Crake as part of the Science Friday radio show/podcast book club and thought I would include it as the first entry in my blog. I hope to be writing a new book review about once every two weeks. While I'll be focusing on the science fiction genre, including several other time travel books that engage my interest, other genres may drop in now and then.
Now, Oryx and Crake! This was a very interesting book to be reading now, having originally been published in 2003. Despite a few rough edges in the world, such as a lack of online social media presence and the prominent use of CD-ROMs for data storage, it was definitely ahead of its time in regards to the science of bio-engineering. With new technology available in the world, such as the endlessly fascinating CRISPR, Margaret Atwood's bleak interpretation of the future of bio-engineering gone amok is even closer to a reality than ever before.
