Book description
Seriously, though-have you ever read a book that feels like it's whispering warnings straight into your ear while you're scrolling through your phone? Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake does that. And listening to it as an audiobook? It's like having a brilliant, slightly paranoid friend lean in and say, "Okay, but what if this is actually happening?"
Snowman-formerly Jimmy-is the last human walking through what used to be a city, mourning his genius (and deeply messed-up) best friend Crake and the hauntingly beautiful Oryx. The story's a slow burn, weaving through his memories of a world run by mega-corporations playing god with DNA, all while you're trying not to panic about real-life biotech labs. Atwood's genius isn't just in the chilling "what if?"-it's in how real it all feels. You'll catch yourself glancing at your phone, wondering if that new app is secretly harvesting your data for a "better" future. (Spoiler: It probably is.)
The audiobook version? Chef's kiss. The narrator (I'm thinking of the one I listened to-seriously, whoever did it nailed it) makes Snowman's voice feel like he's sitting right beside you, half-hysterical, half-still trying to make sense of it all. You hear the weight in his voice when he talks about Oryx, or the quiet dread when he realizes what Crake really built. And those "Children of Crake" with their green eyes? The way the narrator says their name-like it's both a blessing and a threat-it gives me chills every time.
Atwood doesn't just write dystopias; she writes warnings. And this one? It's not some far-off sci-fi fantasy. It's the world we're already building, one gene edit at a time. You'll laugh at Snowman's old jokes, cringe at Crake's cold logic, and then, yeah, maybe pause the audiobook to check if your smart fridge is secretly judging you. (It probably is.)
What sticks with you long after the last chapter? The way Atwood makes you care about characters who are supposed to be broken-like Snowman's messy, desperate love for Oryx, or Crake's terrifying belief that humans are the real experiment. You'll be thinking about it days later, asking yourself: "Wait, did that actually happen? Or am I just seeing it everywhere now?"
If you've ever wondered if we're heading toward a future where "progress" feels like a trap, Oryx and Crake is the book that'll make you actually feel it. And honestly? It's way more gripping to hear it than to read it. There's something about hearing Snowman's voice in your ear as he wanders through the ruins of our world-it's like the story's been waiting for you to listen. So put on your headphones, press play, and brace yourself. You won't just read this book. You'll live it. And honestly? It's the kind of story that makes you want to call a friend and say, "Okay, but what if we were the ones who got it wrong?"
