What I like about her work is that she spans across different genres: sci-fi, dystopian speculative fiction, historical fiction, drama, mystery. She also writes poetry and non-fiction, and she is a compelling speaker.

I know what you mean. That there will exist Atwood literature that I will never read is very distressing. But I do find it a pretty awesome idea.
I find the whole idea of time capsules fascinating - I find it interesting to read books written a hundred years ago, and things were pretty different then, so I imagine that our world may be unfamiliar or strange to future generations.
