Helpful Score: 1

In this dystopian science fiction novel, the end of the world comes through biotech. I've read all of Margaret Atwood's early novels and short stories. The funny thing is how much continuity there is between Life Before Man and Oryx and Crake. The same sense of the grieving fugue state of the protagonist, the crumbling of the boundaries of the civilized world and the desire and fear of reversion to a state of nature, but this time with scary bio-engineered animals and people!
