Synopsis:
A man struggles to maintain his sanity and stay alive in the remains of a fallen society with strange companions, examining his memories of his life before the catastrophe and the part he played.
Verdict:
The evolution of genetic modifications and the societal implications are scarily prescient. The Crakers are a strange but interesting idea. Great read. Margaret Atwood writes a subtle but strong underlying theme into her books that carries you through.
