I think it's the perfect combo of speculative fiction, interesting writing, characterization, intriguing plot, and weirdness.
The only bad thing about this book is that you can never get the first reading experience back once you know what happened to the world.

It's interesting though! All characters have shit personality (nicely written, don't expect that character development) and I like Atwood's prose (of course). The protag, Snowman, is a good, storytelling narrator (a bit stupid sometimes)
Overall, I like it! Not really bought into the fucking hacking segment (it's pretty stupid) and there's not much intriguing ideas to ponder after reading the book (I find some of them too ridiculous). I liked this book due to how Atwood beautifully presented it, not the ideas themselves. Solid mystery book!
