It is at once a love story and a compelling vision of the future. Snowman, known as Jimmy before mankind was overwhelmed by a plague, is struggling to survive in a world where he may be the last human, and mourning the loss of his best friend, Crake, and the beautiful and elusive Oryx whom they both loved. In search of answers, Snowman embarks on a journey--with the help of the green-eyed Children of Crake--through the lush wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering ride. --Adapted from publisher description Booker Prize Finalist, 2003 Triangles (Interpersonal relations) Fiction 37 Genetic engineering Fiction 14164 Male friendship Fiction 12562 Genetic engineering Fiction 14164 New York (State) Fiction 11834 New York (State) Fiction. nli 11834 Science fiction 923 Romance fiction 51 Dystopian fiction 3001 Science fiction. gsafd 923 Love stories. gsafd 52 Dystopias. gsafd 4922 Science fiction. lcgft 923 Romance fiction. lcgft 51 Dystopian fiction. lcgft 3001 Atwood, Margaret, 1939- MaddAddam trilogy ; bk. 1 14165 .b88929024 ddc BOOK 29009 29009 ddc 0 0 ABELJ ABELJ AF 2023-09-12 28.99 0 ATWO 64512 2023-09-12 2023-09-12 BOOK 1
