MaddAddam

A man-made pandemic has ravaged the planet, but a tiny remnant endures, along with the kind-eyed Crakers, a benign race that was bioengineered to take the place of humanity. Once a member of the Gods Gardeners and an authority on mushrooms and bees, Toby still harbours feelings for the streetwise and fascinating Zeb. Ivory Bill longs for the provocative Swift Fox, who is making out with Zeb; Amanda is in shock after a Painballer assault; and Snowman-the-Jimmy, the reluctant prophet of the Crakers, is having hallucinations. Giant Pigoons and evil Painballers are threatening to assault in the meanwhile.

The surprising, terrifying, and amusing MaddAddam by Booker Prize-winning author Margaret Atwood is told with wit, dizzying imagination, and black humour; it pulls us further into a tough dystopian world and serves as a twisted mirror to our own potential future.
