Learn from Atwood

This is how it's supposed to work. You don't accept the sci-fi label if you want to be successful

You forgot

>sell rights to major content provider that specializes in pretentious serial drama

it was successful because it's a well-written feminist novel and was therefore deemed culturally important

She's been extremely successful since the 80's user, I don't think a new adaptation has anything to do with it.

How many years later is it after the publication?

Bit of a long con, don't ya think?

I was following up on "Learn from Atwood"

>You don't accept the sci-fi label if you want to be successful

more specifically you defend the existence of the imaginary category of science fiction but you place yourself firmly outside of it because that's the way to gain notoriety. science fiction fans spend about 3% of their time reading science fiction and the other 97% arguing about what is or isn't science fiction, so making controversial statements about that divide gets you infinite free press.

Atwood is a fucking degenerate savage that needs to be taken into the woods and shot (metaphorically of course).

I was forced to read Oryx and Crake by a whore of a professor of mine and it was by far the worst book I have read in my entire life.

- Terrible vocabulary
- Completely unimaginative
- Sentence are put together by what resembles the work of a downsey syndrome five year old
- Vulgarity ((without purpose))
- Shit characters
- Predictable and boring story
- "Jimmy would have practiced intellectual honourableness if only he fucking knew what the fuck it meant."

This woman is an ingrate and her writing has plagued society like a filthy ulcer covered in hot spices and burnt pepper. She has fueled the trash that is the feminist man-hate machine and furthered the idea that "if you have a pussy, you can be successful without talent". She is the Hillary Clinton of writing and a bitch, destitute of any firing neurons.

Also it came out at the right moment, 1985 was the height of the power of the Religious Right in the US and elsewhere, and Atwood was effective at, more or less, scaremongering people into believing we weren't that far away from The Handmaid's Tale becoming a reality.
