MaddAddam Reading Order

MaddAddam (2013) by Margaret Atwood is the concluding novel of the MaddAddam trilogy. In its aftermath, the survivors of the Waterless Flood — Toby and Ren from The Year of the Flood, and the former biotech underground from Oryx and Crake — find themselves living alongside the Crakers, the engineered humanoids that Crake designed to replace humanity. Toby narrates, telling the Crakers the story of Zeb and the founding of MaddAddam while fending off a band of violent Painballers and building whatever kind of future is possible from the materials that remain. MaddAddam is warmer than its predecessors — more interested in what survives catastrophe than in how catastrophe happens — and gives full shape to Atwood's vision of how intelligence and narrative might persist through extinction.
