Oryx and Crake, by Margaret Atwood

I haven't read any of her stuff in a while, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I really liked this one. It was that kind of post-apocalyptic, dystopian thing, like Children of Men, and also like Children of Men, it seemed pretty feasible to me that this is where things could go, in the extreme. It starts of with a kind of weird, sci-fi vibe, which did not excite me, but quickly starts to jump back and forth in time, revealing small pieces of story as it goes. Really interesting.
