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 131260 11362 2003 0 2009-04-27T15:59:05-07:00 684693 443 2009-04-27T15:59:05-07:00 0 2009-04-12T12:10:11-07:00 621129 259 2009-04-12T12:10:11-07:00 0 2009-04-10T17:35:33-07:00 615689 184 2009-04-10T17:35:33-07:00 0 2009-04-05T17:45:03-07:00 593979 89 2009-04-05T17:45:03-07:00 0 2009-02-15T16:12:47-08:00 388888 43 2009-02-15T16:12:47-08:00 4 0 false Mon Apr 27 15:59:20 -0700 2009 Tue Jan 20 18:07:34 -0800 2009 Mon Apr 27 15:59:20 -0700 2009
