Oryx and Crake

Author: Margaret Atwood

Atwood’s haunting vision of a post-apocalyptic world unfolds through the eyes of Snowman, possibly the last human survivor. As he struggles to survive, memories of his past life as Jimmy flood back, revealing a world of genetic engineering gone awry. Atwood’s prose is both lyrical and chilling, weaving a tale that’s part cautionary fable, part love story. Her exploration of scientific hubris and human nature lingers long after the final page.

Immortality is a concept too ridiculous to be taken seriously by any sane person.
