Review title: I concur: This book is a waste of time.
Product review: I most certainly agree with a previous reviewer who declared Crake and Oryx a total waste of time. It is a mishmash of pseudoscience and unbelievable scenarios. It is most certainly not a cautionary tale, except to point out that those lacking in knowledge should not attempt to predict the future. Some have found humor in the book, referring to baboon-like mating habits, but the humor is at best junior-high stuff and degrading. The only consistent theme in the book is a making of time sausage: although obviously ca. 100 or more years in the future, people are still taking Polaroids and sending faxes. Except for an apparent advance in genetic engineering, the details of life seem annoyingly like life today.
