A boxed set (three trade
paperbacks) of the internationally celebrated speculative fiction
trilogy from one of the most visionary authors of our time, Margaret
Atwood.
Across
three stunning novels--Oryx and
Crake, The Year of the Flood, and Maddaddam--the
best-selling, Booker Prize-winning novelist projects us into a near
future that is both all too familiar and beyond our imagining.
In
Oryx and Crake, a man
struggles to survive in a world where he may be the last human. In
search of answers, he embarks on a journey through the lush
wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful
corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering
ride. In The Year of the Flood
the long-feared waterless flood has occurred, altering Earth as we
know it and obliterating most human life. And in Maddaddam
a small group of survivors band together with the Children of Crake:
the gentle, bioengineered quasi-human species who will inherit this
new earth.
Set
in a darkly plausible future shaped by plagues, floods, and genetic
engineering, these three novels take us from the end of the world to
a brave new beginning. Thrilling, moving, and a triumph of
imagination, the Maddaddam Trilogy confirms the ultimate
endurance of humanity, community, and love.
