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. Margaret Atwood projects us into a near future that is both all too familiar and beyond our imagining.]]> 3472 3.86 130391 11241 2003 4 0 false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 31 21:47:17 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 09:40:01 -0700 2007
