Oryx and Crake, Margaret Attwood


This is a stunningly disturbing book exploring a world where man has been able to create its own race. The consequences of genetic engineering, environmental polution, the growing divide between rich and poor, the dominance of corporations etc are played out into a future world with disastrous effects. "Snowman" acts as the narrator believing himself to be the only human surivor. Cleverly written.
