About This Item
This is a near-perfect first edition of Oryx & Crake, by the Canadian author Margaret Atwood. It is the first book of her trilogy about a biological tragedy; it's followed by The Year of the Flood and MaddAdam.
This book does not appear to have been read but there is a little fading to the edges of the cover. Other than that, it's perfect.
I have a first edition of MaddAdam listed here. If you want them both, please message me so I can combine shipping.
Synopsis
Oryx and Crake is a dystopian science fiction
Reviews
On Dec 27 2015, a reader said:
The story in Oryx And Crake is actually a bit of a complicated one to try to summarize in just a sentence or two, but the gist of it is that there's this guy, referred to as Snowman, and he may or may not be the last human being as we know ourselves to be, as the world is now composed of genetically engineered everything. There are still humans of course, but they are a new breed of human, genetically modified to be "perfect" according to the mad scientist who created them. The thing is, Snowman knew this mad scientist when they were in school, in fact they were best friends, and it's through Snowman's memories that we learn of all the events that took place up til now and what on Earth happened to us. This book is so good, you'll never want it to end.
