I really miss GEP.
Oops, almost midnights. Don't want to miss another post!
In college, I read the book "Oryx and Crake" in my Science Fiction and Medicine class. I know some of you have read it too - did you know there is a sequel? "The Year of the Flood," which I bought as soon as it came out, is the only sequel Margaret Atwood has ever written. Maybe because the issues and fears of the first book are still very much present in our world.
Just like O&C, YotF manages to totally scare the crap out of me. It isn't a horror novel, nor a mystery, but a post-apocalyptic world with too many similarities to our own. I had nightmares, of the sort that don't completely go away when I wake up. Some days I am terrified of the future.
