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.
