Swine Flu
With swine flu all over the news and the threat of a global pandemic upon us, I can't help but think of Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake... Its description of a future where just one man is left alive after a series of deadly viruses destroys the entire human population (leaving behind just Crakers, pigoons & wolvogs - if that doesn't mean anything, read the book!) is brought to mind by all these bleak predictions of an uncontrollable dissemination, followed by mass-deaths. Is Atwood something of a visionary, perhaps?

I completely agree with you. (I found your post by randomly googling "Swine Flu, Oryx and Crake" or something- I think I wanted to see if there were any other freaks around like me scared to death that Swine Flu is BlyssPlus, now out of the can... I wonder when we can expect an Atwood interview on the subject?)
Great blog, btw.
