Books on the Shelf

MaddAddam Series by Margaret Atwood

How I Found:  Margaret Atwood is my poet girlfriend. Her words ring true for my poetic soul. I had read The Handmaid's Tale when I was in college and was awed, but her poetry has stuck with me. Curious as to what other novels she had been up to recently, I went searching the shelves and came across Oryx and Crake. This speculative fiction is particularly on point, every issue presented seems all too scarily possible in a future (hopefully) to never exist. Of course, after reading the first, I had to know who Oryx and Crake really were and what happened next, so I continued with The Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam.

Why You Might Read: The three books actually take place simultaneously which held my attention in a way unique to most trilogies.  Seemingly independent characters become intertwined in a story that haunts you as you notice more and more of Atwood's speculation in the daily news. Finally, in her acknowledgments Atwood reveals: "Although MaddAddam is a work of fiction, it does not include any technologies or biobeings that do not already exist, are not under construction, or are not possible in theory." Woah.
