The MaddAddam trilogy begins with Oryx and Crake (2003), set in a world devastated by a man-made plague and dominated by corporate compounds and genetic engineering. The story follows Snowman, apparently the last human survivor, as he recalls how civilization collapsed. The Year of the Flood (2009) retells overlapping events from different characters’ viewpoints.

MaddAddam (2013) concludes the trilogy by bringing the survivors together and moving the story forward. The series explores themes of environmental destruction, corporate power, and what it means to be human in a world where biology has been rewritten. Atwood has described the trilogy as speculative fiction rather than science fiction, noting that everything in it is based on existing or plausible technology.
