A man-made plague has swept the earth; but a small group survives; along with the green-eyed Crakers - a gentle species bio-engineered to replace humans. Toby; onetime member of the God's Gardeners and expert in mushrooms and bees; is still in love with street-smart Zeb; who has an interesting past. The Crakers' reluctant prophet; Snowman-the-Jimmy; is hallucinating; Amanda is in shock from a Painballer assault; and Ivory Bill yearns for the provocative Swift Fox; who is flirting with Zeb. Meanwhile; giant Pigoons and malevolent Painballers threaten to attack. Told with wit; dizzying imagination; and dark humour; Booker Prize-winning Margaret Atwood's unpredictable; chilling and hilarious MaddAddam takes us further into a challenging dystopian world - a moving and dramatic conclusion to the internationally celebrated trilogy that began with Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood.
