“Home das Neves”, coñecido como Jimmy antes de que a humanidade fose devastada por unha praga, loita por sobrevivir nun mundo onde tal vez el sexa o derradeiro humano, mentres lamenta a perda do seu mellor amigo, Crake, e da fermosa e misteriosa Oryx, a quen os dous amaban.
O protagonista emprende unha viaxe a través da exuberante selva que ata hai pouco era unha gran cidade, na procura de respostas, e polo camiño iremos descubrindo como a humanidade acadou a súa destrución durante unha carreira incontrolada de enxeñería xenética.
Atwood bota man do seu estilo agudo e humor negro para transportarnos a un futuro próximo e ao mesmo tempo afastado da nosa imaxinación.
I first read this book in high school and it stuck with me for these last twenty years. Rereading it as an adult is a different type of dread, especially as many of the aspects of the book get more and more possible. It’s art, and it’s a warning.
I have so many questions about the world building in this book! I want to know everything about everyone. Except possibly Jimmy/Snowman. I found the whole premise to be interesting and compelling, though sometimes a tad slow. Still and all, I love me some Margaret Atwood!
