8.5/10
Disturbing and thought-provoking. Exceptionally well-written.

The story of Oryx and Crake is revealed in hints, puzzle pieces, and layers as Snowman rummages through his memories of life as Jimmy. The backdrop of a genetically engineered world experiencing catastrophic climate change and disintegrating human society provides an appropriately bleak setting for the story, both past and present, and the scientific advances don’t seem all that beneficial to society in general.

While it probably fits the overall story and helps define the state of society as well as these particular characters, I would have preferred less emphasis on sex, porn, and gratuitous violence. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
