Книга "Exploring dystopia" авторства Ле Аурес исследует тему антиутопии и прогнозирует появление подобного мира в будущем. В отчете Организации Объединенных Наций от 2018 года предсказывалось массовое вымирание организмов на Земле, более одного миллиона видов могут исчезнуть в течение следующих лет. По мнению докладчика, причиной этому послужили неосмотрительные действия человека. Роман Маргарет Этвуд "Орикс и Кейфл" опубликован в 2002 году, был предзнаменован тем, что с момента публикации до наших дней была замечена схожесть описанной антиутопии с настоящим миром.
Книга посвящена изучению мрачной темы вымирания: автор, Леа Аурез, исследует вопрос о будущем человеческой жизни, анализируя известный роман Маргарет Этвуд «Орикс и Кракен». В книге исследуется тема тематизации этой идеи в осиленном произведении и ее значении для предупреждения широких масс читателя и для будущего поколений.
This final paper explores "Oryx and the Crake" by Margaret Atwood, questioning the warning implicit in the prediction of one million newsworthy species being wiped off the face of the Earth within our lifetimes. While these predictions have been largely borne out, notably through the activities of climate change activists, most recently the bird flu scare of 1997 failed to materialize any population declines, let alone a complete absence. Based upon our current climate/ecosystem status, we are now witness to an unprecedented warning. We have an evaporating public treasury, dysfunctional public courts (where hollow wealth is enforced through unconstitutional law), an unpredictable international entity that has taken us to the brink of annihilation on multiple occasions, wars where thousands die and millions starve without actually knowing even their own guesses–where even the names of the casualties have no actual meaning. When in a such a public atmosphere/pandemonium, anything or anyone that contributes a grain of semblance of positivity becomes a critical and highly apprehensible element to one's morale. The experience of such radical uncertainties reality converts these questions into crucial connections between concepts of knowledge, existence, and what is possible. In a world where uncertainty has rapidly replaced certainty, the possibilities and limits of life itself inevitably become more challenging. As Atwood has pointed out "some scientists believe that the number of organisms that have ever existed in the history of the earth is so large that survivors, whether insects like beetles or microorganisms like the bacteria, may very soon include those species we regard as extinct." Of course this is only one of many ecologies that cannot be ignored - but it hints at the possibility of a system if the ecosystem continues as we know it were buried, not completely destroyed, under the sea of returns of an over-active running of organisms or survival mechanisms of our high tech - rescues. This addressing the role of biology and environment is covered in Atwood's Oryx which correlates developmentally based fictitious societies and ecological research to develop plausible models of future extinction threats and government control of organism biology to preserve the morphology and cooperation of species and their environments as instruments of value. The tone of Atwood hunting many of these concerns resonates despite the fact that most of the readers will not be able to feel comfort in the scientific terms and publications concerning topics like these environmental catastrophes due to lack or familiarity with knowledge regarding ecology. The critical lacuna lies in the pleasure of the concepts embodied in emerging utopias, in which healthy human interaction is preserved amidst the debris of rocky planet and ensuing volatility. Exploring the wild-eyed landscapes of issues Atwood delves deeply into the dimensions of discord, thoughtfulness, imagination and the infinite plume that sits attached (in dismay) to the total fragility thusly demonstrating the importance of unstable thinking: disparities of belief rather than sticking to a familiar or safe sail. Atwood constructs a technician she knows far too well to not recognized herself in her lyrical letters: often employing invented terminology, quoting the uneasinessingly specific and transgressing linguistic barriers. Textual conventions in Oryc relate to a discipline of chemistry and biology when used to explore consciousness and communicate the intricacies of patterns of human behavior. Atwood consciously insinuates the lifestyles activated within the bounds of inter-species behavioral schedules overwhelmingly verbal in nature (albeit somewhat jocular for school age children and adults alike). Atwood realms the galaxy where leadership begins to question itself by broadening its outlook of total involvement, ultimately pushing it to devise its forgotten efficiency, non-stoical practices to define its personal status which enables it to move toward being as the subject of antitropy as it could have changed into subservience towards loss. Whether that loss is current or expected remains uncertain, all it does is drive the havoc of knowable outcomes further than we would like to unexpectedly lay eyes of their unnerving predictions.

Описание книги от Lea Aures
The United Nations report 2019 warns of mass extinction. One million species might vanish from our earth within the next years. Thoughtless human action is largely to blame for this development. Margaret Atwood's novel Oryx and Crake, published in 2003, predicted the situation we currently find ourselves in. This paper is an analysis of characteristic themes in Oryx and Crake with regard to the warnings they convey to us as well as to future generations.
