Margaret Atwood: Oryx and Crake

A vision of the future rooted in the present. We meet Snowman at the start of the book. He believes himself to be the sole human survivor of a worldwide cataclysm. Atwood’s cautionary tale takes scientific research in the hands of madmen to its logical and frightening conclusion.

Shortlisted for Man Booker 2003 and for Orange Prize 2004.

“Atwood at her best — dark, dry, scabrously witty, yet moving and studded with flashes of pure poetry. Her gloriously inventive brave new world is all the more chilling because of the mirror it holds up to our own. Citizens, be warned.”
