description: A man-made plague has swept the earth but a small group survives along with the green-eyed Crakers  a gentle species bio-engineered to replace humans. Toby onetime member of the Gods Gardeners and expert in mushrooms and bees is still in love with street-smart Zeb who has an interesting past. The Crakers reluctant prophet Snowman-the-Jimmy is hallucinating; Amanda is in shock from a Painballer attack; and Ivory Bill yearns for the provocative Swift Fox who is flirting with Zeb. Meanwhile giant Pigoons and malevolent Painballers threaten to attack. Told with wit dizzying imagination and dark humour Booker Prize-winning Margaret Atwoods unpredictable chilling and hilarious MaddAddam takes us further into a challenging dystopian world and holds up a skewed mirror to our own possible future.
