O knihe
This study examines posthuman implications and genetic transformation in the science fiction novel Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. By engaging with the novel, this dissertation will focus primarily on posthuman implications and genetic transformation. The introductory part emphasizes the origins and definitions of science fiction, short history of science fiction, from ancient novels to the golden age: Isaac Asimov, pulp science fiction, the new wave, Bollywood, and screen media. The main body of the study will then discuss key issues surrounding posthumanism, including super-longevity, super-intelligence, and super-wellbeing. And it also discusses transhumanism, genetic transformation, and the cloning processes of spider goats, dolly sheep, and enviropigs. After the research articulates a Canadian literary figure, Margaret Atwood, with her literary works and a critical analysis of Oryx and Crake. At last, the researcher discusses posthuman implications and genetic transformation in Oryx and Crake.Lastly, the researcher considers the ways in which Atwood represents the scientific experiments, posthuman effects, and genetic manipulation in the novel.
