Post Apocalyptic Stories are Usually the Most scary for me personally. There is something about them that feels like they could potentially happen. Stories like these that have a small chance of possibility always catch my interest. The way humans treat earth at the rate that we do makes post apocalyptic stories have more fear within the reader. The story had many scenarios that seemed within reach. Genetic Engineering was another very realistic theme to me.
It felt like a real creationist story. A new humanity has been created on an earth already populated with plants and animals and nature is rebuilding itself. The characters felt easy enough to understand. The Crakers were very human like creatures. They seemed like they just want to understand their world and not just exist within it. They constantly ask Questions of their origin and Snowman struggles to explain it to them and seems to go with a simple answer. They didnt have the capability to truly understand the answer.
From what I interpreted None of the characters in Oryx and Crake are really evil. Atwood suggests that humanity may be doomed by our own greed, lust and ignorance. I am very curious about the sequal "The Year of the flood"because The ending has you on edge.
