Outstanding speculative fiction from Atwood. I don't buy into all of her visions of the future - the tv shows in particular - but seeing the lead-up to and aftermath of this apocalypse gives us a truly incredible story. Atwood's writing is deft, and her ability to get inside the mind of a male protagonist is remarkable.

I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the totem stuff just yet; the payoff will reveal whether this was a big exercise in filling issues or something actually worthwhile, but the Doom stuff at the end is spectacular, and I'm still digging the Peter as a high school teacher arc quite a bit.
