From Little Stack
Margaret Atwood delivers a look at transhumanism not through the lens of technology or cybernetics, but genetic engineering. Bioengineering is humanity’s key to creating the perfect human body, eliminating flaws and inefficiencies, and creating a new species of lab-designed, post-human beings: the Crakers.
It’s a fascinating look at modern perspectives on what it means to be the “perfect” human, the dangers of augmentations being used to manipulate society, and the danger of transhumanist ambition (which runs the risk of sliding into genocide and eugenics).
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The first volume in the internationally acclaimed MaddAddam trilogy is at once an unforgettable love story and a compelling vision of the future—from the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments.
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.
