In a post-apocalyptic world devastated by natural disasters, Snowman, formerly known as Jimmy, faces solitude and the memory of his lost friends, Crake and the enigmatic Oryx. Surrounded by the Children of Crake, green-eyed beings who see him as a prophet, Jimmy embarks on an introspective journey into his past and into the technological bubble created by Crake, where it all began. This unforgettable story of love and survival, written by Margaret Atwood, presents us with a disturbing and close vision of a future where uncontrolled genetic engineering has transformed the face of the Earth. A reflection on globalization and the ecological challenges that threaten our world.
