"Yes, The Handmaid’s Tale is a masterpiece, but I actually found this way more propulsive. "
Yes, The Handmaid’s Tale is a masterpiece, but I actually found this way more propulsive. The first part of a trilogy, we follow survivor Snowman as he explains how the world ended at the hands of his brilliant, but dangerous, friend Crake. Atwood, as you’d expect, crafts a wildly imaginative apocalypse, with blue-penised clones and genetically-modified meat. Ever the visionary, Atwood also foresaw the rise of the chilling tech billionaire as Crake evolves from basement-dwelling nerd to Musk-style villainy. Follow-up The Year of the Flood is every bit as good too.
