MaddAddam Séries

Cette série plonge les lecteurs dans un avenir étrangement plausible où l'humanité est aux prises avec les conséquences de sa propre ambition débridée. Elle explore avec brio les intersections sombres de l'ingénierie génétique, du pouvoir des entreprises et de l'effondrement écologique. À travers des récits entrelacés qui couvrent l'avant, le pendant et l'après l'apocalypse, l'histoire révèle la fragilité de la civilisation et l'esprit humain durable, bien qu'altéré. Ce sont de profondes méditations sur la survie, la perte et ce que signifie vraiment être humain dans un monde refait.

    Pigs might not fly but they are strangely altered. So, for that matter, are wolves and racoons. A man, once named Jimmy, lives in a tree, wrapped in old bedsheets, now calls himself Snowman. The voice of Oryx, the woman he loved, teasingly haunts him. And the green-eyed Children of Crake are, for some reason, his responsibility. 'In Jimmy, Atwood has created a great character: a tragic-comic artist of the future, part buffoon, part Orpheus. An adman who's a sad man; a jealous lover who's in perpetual mourning; a fantasist who can only remember the past' - Independent 'Gripping and remarkably imagined' - London Review of Books

    Set in the near future, Attwood's dark, thoughtful and at times funny novel finds two women who have survived a cataclysmic environmental disaster - a young trapeze artist locked in a sex club and a 'God's Gardener' hiding in a luxury spa - and both must find their way out.

    A man-made plague has swept the earth, but a small group survives, along with the green-eyed Crakers - a gentle species bio-engineered to replace humans. Toby, onetime member of the God's Gardeners and expert in mushrooms and bees, is still in love with street-smart Zeb, who has an interesting past. The Crakers' reluctant prophet, Snowman-the-Jimmy, is hallucinating; Amanda is in shock from a Painballer assault; and Ivory Bill yearns for the provocative Swift Fox, who is flirting with Zeb. Meanwhile, giant Pigoons and malevolent Painballers threaten to attack.Told with wit, dizzying imagination, and dark humour, Booker Prize-winning Margaret Atwood's unpredictable, chilling and hilarious MaddAddam takes us further into a challenging dystopian world - a moving and dramatic conclusion to the internationally celebrated trilogy that began with Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood.

    Vol. 1: Oryx and Crake: At once an unforgettable love story and a compelling vision of the future. Snowman, known as Jimmy before mankind was overwhelmed by a plague, is struggling to survive in a world where he may be the last human, and mourning the loss of his best friend, Crake, and the beautiful and elusive Oryx whom they both loved. In search of answers, Snowman embarks on a journey - with the help of the green-eyed Children of Crake - through the lush wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering ride. Margaret Atwood projects us into a near future that is both all too familiar and beyond our imagining
