In Year, we met the Gardeners, a group of eco-spiritualists who practice a kind of environmental animism. Like Year of the Flood, MaddAddam deals with the question of how to rebuild a better civilization in the ashes of what came before. That mad scientist is the brilliant bioengineer Crake, whose story is retold in this novel by the Crakers, the post-humans he designed to experience no sexual jealousy, and to eat nothing but plants. Like its predecessors, MaddAddam is a blend of satiric futurism and magic realism, a snarky but soulful peek at what happens to the world after a mad scientist decimates humanity with a designer disease. With her weird, wistful new novel MaddAddam, Margaret Atwood completes the apocalyptic trilogy she began with Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
