La última y emocionante entrega de MADDADDAM, la gran trilogía distópica de Margaret Atwood aclamada a nivel internacional.

Meses después de que la pandemia del Diluvio Seco haya borrado a casi toda la humanidad de la faz de la Tierra, Toby y Ren han rescatado a su amiga Amanda de las garras de los despiadados paintbalistas. Juntas, regresan a la cabaña de los locoadánidas. Cuyo reticente profeta, Jimmy -Hombre de las Nieves-, debilitado a causa de la fiebre, hace que Toby tenga que predicar la teología de los crackers. Zab, por su parte, ha estado buscando a Adán Uno, fundador de los Jardineros de Dios, la religión ecologista y pacifista de la que él mismo se desvinculó años atrás para guiar a los locoadánidas en su resistencia activa contra la acción destructora de SegurMort.

Monthsafter the Waterless Flood pandemic has wiped out most of humanity, Toby andRen have rescued their friend Amanda from the vicious Painballers. Theyreturn to the MaddAddamite cob house, newly fortified against man and giantpigoon alike. Accompanying them are the Crakers, the gentle, quasi-humanspecies engineered by the brilliant but deceased Crake. Their reluctantprophet, Snowman-the-Jimmy, is recovering from a debilitating fever, so it’sleft to Toby to preach the Craker theology, with Crake as Creator. She mustalso deal with cultural misunderstandings, terrible coffee, and her jealousyover her lover, Zeb.

Zeb has been searching for Adam One, founder of the God’s Gardeners, thepacifist green religion from which Zeb broke years ago to lead theMaddAddamites in active resistance against the destructive CorpSeCorps. Butnow, under threat of a Painballer attack, the MaddAddamites must fight backwith the aid of their newfound allies, some of whom have four trotters. Atthe center of MaddAddam is the story of Zeb’s dark and twisted past, whichcontains a lost brother, a hidden murder, a bear, and a bizarre act ofrevenge.

Combining adventure, humor, romance, superb storytelling, and animagination at once dazzlingly inventive and grounded in a recognizableworld, MaddAddam is vintage Margaret Atwood – a moving and dramaticconclusion to her internationally celebrated dystopian trilogy.
