The author spins a depressing view of a world not too unlike the one in which we live. Snowman, formerly known as Jimmy, has lost his best friend, Crake, and the woman they both loved, Oryx. This post-apocalyptic vision recalls to us the visions of other authors - Aldous Huxley and George Orwell among them. Will our world spin out of control due to technological development that creates new life forms? Snowman believes that he is alone with a group of physically enhanced people who know no rules, no terror, no religion, no life at all like his own. His job is to survive and teach these people how to live in a radically altered environment. Will he succeed? Is he truly the only survivor of an unchanged human? Most intriguing tale! Read it and discover story for yourself.
