LMST_345 Lit. of Horror，Fantasy，Science fiction

I waked up from the sound of firecrackers four o'clock in the morning. After hastily washing, my wife and I put on a quilted jacket, take out the ready gifts from the storeroom, then hurried out of the door. It was snowing heavily and my car wouldn't start, but I didn't panic because a new subway station was a hundred meters away. We boarded the subway using rapid face recognition and were less than 10 minutes at grandma's house. Although it was only early morning, many people had already arrived at my grandma's house. My grandma was placing sacrificial food in front of the portrait of my ancestors. My grandpa, who was 90 years old, was much worse in health than before and sat in a rocking chair in a daze. After kneeling down to worship our ancestors, my wife and I sat down to taste the freshly boiled dumplings. At that moment, grandma came over and gave me a red envelope.

  This week I read the novel  Oryx and Crake . In my opinion, this is a profound and meaningful novel. This novel contains a lot of discussion about humanity, sex, culture and genetic variation, and a lot of language about sex and biology. The chapters are very interesting, one chapter is about the present, one chapter is about the future, and the main plot is in even chapters.   In the novel, the author expresses her extreme concern about the misuse of biotechnology in the future world. Like so many western works of science fiction, the future presented in this book is a bleak, apocalyptic vision of human society: literature and art have been scorned as never before, and only science and technology have been favored. This is actually indicative of a trend that we now see quite clearly. To be more specific, all diseases will be eradicated, but the big companies that make drugs create viruses and spread them in order to keep people buying them. If anyone tries to blow the whistle on suc
