Book •
Orcs and Crake is the first book in Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy, set in a near-future, post-apocalyptic world.

The novel follows Jimmy, who now calls himself Snowman, as he struggles to survive in a world overrun by genetically engineered creatures.

He mourns the loss of his best friend Crake and the woman they both loved, Oryx, while also caring for the Children of Crake, a gentle, bio-engineered species created by Crake.

The narrative explores themes of environmental destruction, corporate greed, and the dangers of unchecked scientific advancement.

Atwood blends elements of science fiction, dystopia, and mythology to create a thought-provoking and cautionary tale about the future of humanity.
