Book of December 2024 
 
"Oryx and Crake" by Margaret Atwood. It’a a masterful utopian novel of a Not So Distant or Impossible Future. The writer has created a future world with just enough traits of our own to make it feel like a terrifyingly real possibility. She draws upon the current trends in genetic engineering, splicing, corporate power, increased economic division.
