Abstract: 

MadAddam (2013) completes the trilogy Margaret Atwood began in 2003 with Oryx and Crake and continued with The Year of the Flood (2009). The three novels envision a post-apocalyptic world created by Crake, an evil genius figure who attempts to cleanse the world-which Atwood presents as an exaggerated version of contemporary Western society-by unleashing a laboratory-created virus. The only survivors are Crake's creations, humanoid beings he called the Crakers; a handful of humans; and an array of gene-spliced animals.
