- lotsofcows 12y ago... must not down vote ... all opinions are equally valid ... even when they're wrong ...
- GFischer 12y agoThanks for not downvoting :) . I did not get if you liked the book a lot, or else if you found the plot awful :) .
- lotsofcows 12y agoI liked the book. A person who is so hurt by mankind's treatment of our world, that he attempts to destroy mankind while engineering a replacement (with more overt built in dependancies on the rest of the natural world) to repair the damage done but is ultimately foiled by mankind/nature's resilience. All narrated by the kind of ennui suffering character that makes up a large proportion of the first world. Written with the depth, biblical parallels, cyberpunk elements, etc that Atwood does so well. What's not to like?
- eli_gottlieb 12y agoRead that one for a sci-fi class in college. I think the teacher had intended to discuss it as describing technology run amok; I took it as capitalism run amok. I'd be curious to know which one Atwood actually meant.
