 | Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
In Margaret Atwood`s 11th novel, she returns to the sci-fi concerns that propelled THE HANDMAID`S TALE. ORYX AND CRAKE follows the fortunes of a man called Snowman: his present-day life as a scavenger in a blasted world alternates with his memories of his past. The eponymous Oryx is an Asian girl he encounters on a website featuring child pornography, and Crake is a brilliantly gifted childhood friend who grows up to be a scientist who creates artificial life.
