Notes on 'MaddAddam' (2013) by Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)
MaddAddam is the final work in Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam trilogy (2003-2013). Taking place within living memory of an undefined plague that has wiped most of humanity, a few survivors are left to fend for themselves and make sense of a radically changed ecology. Atwood’s postapocalyptic work is a satirical, yet cautionary tale of what can happen when large corporations are left unsupervised.
