Oryx and Crake

Atwood’s apocalyptic tale forces the reader to stop and think. It is almost disturbing how potentially accurate this novel is. Even more disturbing is the speed at which Atwood’s apocalypse could be realized in our world.

The story is narrated by Snowman, who has made his home in a tree in order to escape the dangerous pigoons. He is slowly starving to death, and his days are filled with mindless babbling as he attempts to maintain his intelligence. He mourns for his lost love Oryx, and he is torn with feelings of bitterness and amity towards his best friend Crake. His solitude is beginning to break down his sanity, and the simpletons he calls the Crakers make him feel increasingly alienated. Snowman soon decides that in order to save himself from starvation and insanity he must set out on a journey into the world he has left behind, unsure of what now awaits him. Through his frequent flashbacks the reader begins to understand the events that led to the near extinction of humanity, and the creation of the Crakers.
