I didn't like Oryx bc it was so relentlessly miserable but looking back I have to admit she was mostly right about the miserable parts. I have no idea what the bits about snowman and the crakers was trying to say.
I really enjoyed this book too but had a hard time taking away much from it. It seemed like a story much more intent on character development than really saying anything (besides maybe unfettered science being frightening).
Margaret Atwood is a self-described monarchist and tory. Also Oryx and Crake is her best novel (that I've read)

Is identifying the problem but saying a solution is impossible just an atwood thing?
