Reviews
"Profoundly imagined. . . . This is a gutsy and expansive novel, rich with ideas and conceits." -Publishers Weekly,starred review "Atwood's mischievous, suspenseful, and sagacious dystopian novel follows the trajectory of current environmental debacles to a shattering possible conclusion with passionate concern and arch humor." -Booklist, starred review "Another stimulating dystopia from this always-provocative author, whose complex, deeply involving characters inhabit a bizarre yet frighteningly believable future." -Kirkus Reviews Praise forOryx and Crake: "Oyrx and Crakeis a cautionary tale about humanity swept downriver on a raft." -Mel Gussow,New York Times "The novel's tantalizing questions will have readers turning the pages of this extraordinary book as fast as humanly possible. . . . Like Orwell and Huxley before her, Atwood takes the world as we know it and suggests scenarios both frightening and all-too-probable . . . "Brilliant, provocative, sumptuous and downright terrifying,Oryx and Crakeis a sharp-edged down-and-dirty page-turner with a deftly wrought message in Atwood's smart electric language." -Victoria Brownworth,Baltimore Sun "A dystopian novel is not intended as a literal forecast, or even necessarily as a logical extension of our current world. It is simply, and not so simply, a bad dream of our present time, an exquisitely designed horror show in which things are changed from what we do know to a dream version of what we don't. . . . Atwood does Orwell one better . . . A "towering and intrepid new novel." -Lorrie Moore,The New Yorker "A landmark work of speculative fiction, comparable toA Clockwork Orange,Brave New World, andWe. Atwood has surpassed herself." -Kirkus Reviews "Chesterton once wrote of the 'thousand romances that lie secreted inThe Origin of Species.' Atwood has extracted one of the most hair-raising of them, and one of the most brilliant. . . . A potential dystopian classic." -Publishers Weekly, PRAISE FOROryx and Crake: "Oyrx and Crakeis a cautionary tale about humanity swept downriver on a raft." -Mel Gussow,New York Times "The novel's tantalizing questions will have readers turning the pages of this extraordinary book as fast as humanly possible. . . .

Her weigh-in on the breakdown of the social covenant comes during a time of historic global change that her story eerily both mirrors and foretells." -Elle Magazine "Profoundly imagined. . . .

Synopsis
The long-awaited new novel from Margaret Atwood. The Year of the Flood is a dystopic masterpiece and a testament to her visionary power. The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners-a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life-has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, a God's Gardener barricaded inside a luxurious spa where many of the treatments are edible. Have others survived? Ren's bioartist friend Amanda? Zeb, her eco-fighter stepfather? Her onetime lover, Jimmy? Or the murderous Painballers, survivors of the mutual-elimination Painball prison? Not to mention the shadowy, corrupt policing force of the ruling powers . . . Meanwhile, gene-spliced life forms are proliferating: the lion/lamb blends, the Mo'hair sheep with human hair, the pigs with human brain tissue. As Adam One and his intrepid hemp-clad band make their way through this strange new world, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move. They can't stay locked away . . . By turns dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most brilliant and inventive., The long-awaited new novel from the author of "The Handmaid's Tale" and "The Blind Assassin, The Year of the Flood" is a dystopic masterpiece and a testament to Atwood's visionary power.
