Oryx and Crake

Margaret Atwood's book Oryx and Crake was published in 2003. She has referred to the work as speculative fiction and adventure romance, rather than pure science fiction, because it does not deal with things "we can't yet do or begin to do", but it goes beyond the degree of realism she associated with the novel form. It follows Snowman, a lone figure who finds himself in a gloomy circumstance with only Crakers to keep him company. The reader learns about his background as a young kid named Jimmy, as well as genetic testing and pharmacological engineering that took place under the supervision of Jimmy's friend, Glenn "Crake".

McClelland and Stewart was the first to publish the book. It was nominated for both the 2003 Man Booker Prize for Fiction and the 2004 Orange Prize for Fiction. The MaddAddam trilogy begins with Oryx and Crake, followed by The Year of the Flood (2009) and MaddAddam (2013).
