In Episode seven Amber and Noelle discuss Margaret Atwood and introduce the themes within her novel Oryx and Crake in this first part of a two-part series. One does not simply read a Margaret Atwood novel in a week and cover everything about the author and the book in a single episode. Oh, no. This is a two-parter for sure! There are no spoilers in this episode, so if you haven't read the book yet, this is a perfect teaser and an informative nugget about the author and the implications of themes such as "how far is too far when it comes to the science of genetic manipulation?" or "is there a point of no return for human technological progress?" and "is lab-grown food really food and should we eat it?" Some may say this novel is a warning to humanity to avoid running blindly toward a dystopian future. Join our discussion and let us know what YOU think.
