Oryx and Crake

This neurotypical found Oryx and Crake surprisingly humorous, especially for the dystopia-to-apocalypse variety of science fiction.The world Atwood created starts out with people in a corporate-dominated society, who have no freedom, no fresh food, no regard for humanity, and the WORST PART no value for any kind of art or romantic love. Humanity just puts up with it, which is the most devastating thought of all. (Okay, there is a resistance movement but we don't know much about them.) That doesn't sound so amusing but something in the way Jimmy/Snowman tells the tale makes it that way. The so-called genius known as Crake has a negative fixation with sex and sexuality which is over-the-top to the point of being funny. For instance, when a clinical trial participant of a Viagra-like pill called “Blysspluss” gets a giant genital wart over her entire body, I have to figure Atwood is pulling my leg. Nothing in [b:The Handmaid's Tale 38447 The Handmaid's Tale (The Handmaid's Tale, #1) Margaret Atwood https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1578028274l/38447.SY75.jpg 1119185] led me to believe that Atwood had any sense of humor whatsoever but maybe I misjudged her. Anyone who can find the humor in dark topics is tops with me.
