Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake is so utterly compelling, so prescient, so relevant, so terrifyingly-all-too-likely-to-be-true, that listeners may find their view of the world forever changed after listening to it. With breathtaking command of her shocking material and with her customary sharp wit and dark humor, Atwood projects a conceivable future of the world, an outlandish yet wholly believable place left devastated in the wake of ecological and scientific disaster.

Compact discs.

Unabridged.

Snowman, once known as Jimmy, may be one of the last humans left on a devastated Earth, and is a kind of shepherd to a group of biologically engineered creatures known as Children of Crake. As Snowman prepares to journey back to the biolab where he once worked, he flashes back to his privileged adolescence, his friendship with the dangerous genius Crake, whose mad bioengineering experiments brought about the destruction of humanity, and memories of Oryx, the survivor of childhood sexual abuse whose life intersects both his and Crake's.
