6/19/2023 0 Comments Maddaddam by margaret atwood![]() They now present a renewed threat to the humans, the Crakers and the extremely intelligent pigoons, who react with grief and anger when one of their own kind is killed. When the confused Crakers pitched up, they untied the Painballers who immediately escaped into the forest. Thanks to her God’s Gardener teaching she could not bring herself to kill the Painballers, and even shared food with them. It’s a peaceful existence compared to the horrors of the previous two books, but Toby can’t forgive herself for “set human malice loose in the world again”. Zeb takes some of the other men out on periodic scavenging trips, and hopes to find Adam One as well. With Jimmy unconscious as he burns with fever from an infection, Toby takes up his task of telling the Crakers stories. The groups of humans and posthumans live together peacefully, since the Crakers are designed sleep outside and eat leaves, and therefore do not require any of the humans’ resources. They return to the Maddaddamite camp, with all the curious Crakers in tow. The present timeline picks up after Toby and Ren rescued Jimmy and Amanda from the Painballers. Like Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood, MaddAddam has two timelines. Source: eARC from the publisher via NetGalley ![]() Genre: science fiction, dystopian, post-apocalyptic literary ![]()
