This genius novel is a perfect sequel to 'Oryx and Crake'. This Dystopian/Speculative Fiction novel reads like poetry and paints an intricate picture of the failings of humanity. This novel does a bang-up job of answering the questions we are left with after the first novel and once again warns us of the dangers of a hyper-capitalist society.
this book, however, is not for the faint-hearted. Sensitive readers beware
