After reading the book Oryx and Crake, one question that puzzled me is: "How accurate is Margaret Atwood's pre-apocalyptic world in relation to our world?" Through this article, I would like to compare and contrast various aspects of the real world and the world described in the book. In doing so, I would like to determine the accuracy of the pre-apocalyptic world described in the book. I would also like to investigate why the author chose to exaggerate certain aspects of the world in the book without paying attention to accuracy. There are three possible answers to the question I posed above. One possible answer is that the author has presented a completely accurate picture. The second is that the author's presentation of the world is completely inaccurate. The third possible answer is that the author was to some extent faithful to her pre-apocalyptic world. I'd like to remove the second answer right away because the author wasn't completely inaccurate with anything in the book. I think everything in the book is completely accurate or accurate to a certain extent. I chose a few things described in the book to examine the accuracy of Margaret Atwood's pre-apocalyptic world. First, I would like to examine how accurately the human response to the BlyssPluss pill was depicted in the book. I think this aspect is portrayed very accurately. If a pill were released into the world that gave humans immortality, it would sell quickly as most humans would buy it without much thought. In the book, Jimmy says that "The BlyssPluss pill would have sold itself, it didn't need his help" (page 312). This shows an innovative pill like the immortality pill d...... middle of paper ......partially accurate. I think the author did not accurately present every aspect of the book. But this begs the question, “Why did he choose to compromise accuracy on some things?” I think the answer to this question is that the author exaggerated a lot of things to give a warning. The author uses these events to warn people that excessive use of technology could lead to the destruction of the world. Furthermore, the author describes a pre-apocalyptic world in the book. I don't think the world will end any time soon. Therefore, our current world has not yet reached the pre-apocalyptic stage. Therefore, the events, situations and conditions described in the book represent a futuristic world and not the present. So, I think the world described in the book should not be completely accurate with the current non-pre-apocalyptic world..
