Official synopsis Publisher
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testamants—this final volume of the internationally celebrated MaddAddam trilogy “has brought the previous two books together in a fitting and joyous conclusion that’s an epic not only of an imagined future but of our own past” (The New York Times Book Review).
The Waterless Flood pandemic has wiped out most of the population. Toby is part of a small band of survivors, along with the Children of Crake: the gentle, bioengineered quasi-human species who will inherit this new earth.
As Toby explains their origins to the curious Crakers, her tales cohere into a luminous oral history that sets down humanity’s past—and points toward its future. Blending action, humor, romance, and an imagination at once dazzlingly inventive and grounded in a recognizable world, MaddAddam is vintage Atwood—a moving and dramatic conclusion to her epic work of speculative fiction.
