The works of Margaret Atwood rarely, if ever, fit neatly into the confines of any particular genre.
Oryx and Crake, the first volume in the
MaddAddam Trilogy, is the closest she’s come to pure sci-fi. Taking issues of inequality, climate change, and corporate power to bleak and terrifying conclusions, Atwood creates a powerfully imaginative and disconcertingly plausible dystopia that is as thought-provoking as it is difficult to put down.
