Crake’s placement at “Asperger’s U” naturally begs the question of whether or not Atwood was implying that Crake had Asperger’s Syndrome. Looking at Crake’s mental offspring, I believe the answer to be “yes.” While Crake’s genetic modifications of humans into Crakers was ostensibly aimed at eliminating traits that would lead to long-term self-destruction or adding traits that increased survivability against wolvogs and the like, there seems to be another element.
