In this final volume of the internationally celebrated MaddAddam trilogy, the
Waterless Flood pandemic has wiped out most of the population. Toby is part of
a small band of survivors, along with the Children of Crake: the gentle,
bioengineered quasi-human species who will inherit this new earth.
As Toby explains their origins to the curious Crakers, her tales cohere into a
luminous oral history that sets down humanity’s past—and points toward its
future. Blending action, humor, romance, and an imagination at once dazzlingly
inventive and grounded in a recognizable world, MaddAddam is vintage Atwood—a
moving and dramatic conclusion to her epic work of speculative fiction.
