- Yes lads I am HYPED to be talking about Oryx & Crake, the first book in the MadAddam series and the ninth video in our Atwood Book Club. I was an instant fan of MadAddam and The Year of the Flood when I first read them, and even though Oryx & Crake was my least favourite of the three, I was excited to reread and delve into the themes of this novel. Let me know what you guys thought of the book and please subscribe for more literary content.

We need more book discussion!
It was so nice to have book discussion made by other people. thank you ^_^
I think it’s interesting about your point about it could be a “utopian.” Yes, the Crakers are superior in so many ways, no existential dread, not needing to eat anything but plants, sex only to procreate, yet those are all the things that make us ~human~ food and culture, contemplating our own existence, romance. The part that stuck out to me in the book was the part when Crake edited out humor as “unnecessary”
I LOVED THIS!!!
also nice art
jus ja Camara c******
my favourite part is how unrelatable and different from current society this book is :D
Yes, I love how imaginative she was in creating a whole new, totally unique world
