436 pages ; 21 cm The first book of the MaddAddam trilogy explores a world that has been devastated by ecological and scientific disasters. 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 Mango -- Flotsam -- Voice -- Bonfire -- OrganInc farms -- Lunch -- Nooners -- Downpour -- Rakunk -- Hammer -- Crake -- Brainfrizz -- HottTotts -- Toast -- Fish -- Bottle -- Oryx -- Birdcall -- Roses -- Pixieland jazz -- Sveltana -- Purring -- Blue -- SoYummie -- Happicuppa -- Applied rhetoric -- Asperger's U. -- Wolvogs -- Hypothetical -- Extinctathon -- Hike -- RejoovenEsense -- Twister -- Vulturizing -- AnooYoo -- Garage -- Gripless -- Pigoons -- Radio -- Rampart -- Pleebcrawl -- BlyssPluss -- MaddAddam -- Parardice -- Crake in love -- Takeout -- Airlock -- Bubble -- Scribble -- Remnant -- Idol -- Sermon -- Footprint adult Margaret Atwood Booker Prize Finalist, 2003 n-us-ny Triangles (Interpersonal relations) Fiction Genetic engineering Fiction Male friendship Fiction Genetic engineering Fiction New York (State) Fiction New York (State) Fiction PR9199.3.A8 O79 2004 813/.6 Fiction A887o Atwood, Margaret 1939- 9780385721677 9781844080281 0385721676 9780329447625 0329447629 9780329618278 032961827X 2009464873 091002 20230912145104.0 449294209
