Miss Webster And Cherif
Author: Margaret Atwood
condition: New
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 244
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
Language: English
Publication Year: 2007
This is the haunting first instalment of the MaddAddam trilogy, told from the perspective of Snowman, possibly the last human survivor in a world populated by "Crakers"—genetically modified, peaceful humanoids. Through his memories, the story reconstructs the pre-apocalyptic world of high-tech corporate compounds and the brilliant, hubristic scientist named Crake who engineered the end of humanity.
The novel is a chillingly plausible work of "speculative fiction" that examines the ethical boundaries of biotechnology and the consequences of extreme environmental neglect. It sets the stage for a grander narrative about survival, the fragility of our species, and what remains when the structures of civilisation are stripped away.
