Margaret Atwood refuses to speculate
Here are some of the things you talk about (or, more properly, hear about) given the better part of an hour with Margaret Atwood.

Crows: “Crows can tell the difference between a man who’s shot at them with a gun and another person who has not done that. And they’ll give the alarm cry when they see that individual person, with or without his gun.”

Lab-grown artificial meat: “Their problem is the texture. It’s sort of mush. So they’re trying to figure out a way to exercise it.”

The film Avatar: “Victorian fairy painting writ large. The blue people with big ears, the light-up mushrooms – it’s all there.”
