Why would I wish to read about such filth?

Yes I have read it and in-fact studied it. But I think I would be depriving you of a very profound read if I just gave you the answers. I will tell you where to look. Check the first few chapters where Crake and Jimmy are growing up, there is a lot of detail in there about pornography and violence in media.Oryx herself is a survivor (at least this is insinuated)of child pornography. Think about the compounds, the way they are described, and what they represent.

There is so much there. It is a short and fascinating read. I reccommend you get to work.
