Une peste créée par l'homme a ravagé la Terre. Les rares survivants forment une communauté avec une espèce inoffensive, fabriquée pour remplacer les humains, les Crakers.

Story
God is change. That is the central truth of the Earthseed movement, whose unlikely prophet is 18-year-old Lauren Olamina. The young woman's diary entries tell the story of her life amid a violent 21st-century hell of walled neighborhoods and drug-crazed pyromaniacs - and reveal her evolving Earthseed philosophy. Against a backdrop of horror emerges a message of hope: if we are willing to embrace divine change, we will survive to fulfill our destiny among the stars.

Story
At the end of the world, a groundbreaking scientific experiment will change everything. Dr. Laura Reynolds had it all. A job she loved. The respect of her peers. Student debt she was slowly chipping away at. And one day, it all went away. She saw the wrong thing—a colleague's mistake. And to escape, he framed her. Laura's only option is to join a secretive research project in Antarctica, where she hopes to keep practicing medicine and one day get her life back. But soon after arriving, she realizes that things aren't what they seem in this advanced facility.

Story
One of the 20th century's enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize-winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.

Publisher's Summary
Two women have avoided it: the young trapeze-dancer, Ren, locked into the high-end sex club; and former SecretBurgers meat-slinger turned Gardener, Toby, barricaded into a luxurious spa. Have others survived? And what are the odds for the human race?
By turn's dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most effective.
Critic Reviews
"Another stimulating dystopia from this always-provocative author, whose complex, deeply involving characters inhabit a bizarre yet frighteningly believable future." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Classic Atwood
Great novel. Really gets you thinking about where humanity is heading. Engaging point of view with multiple voices. Could have done without the singing of thr God's Gardeners hymns.

The plot !! She just keeps me looking into every corner of my soul
I loved this second novel to the series! What Margret is able to achieve is to take the human world as we don’t see it and make it to a work in which we need to see it ! And once we do that we then start to look at every corner and cravis of the mind and soul and look deep within to know if you are capable of pushing the limits. Also the water loss flood was brilliant the music in this audbile version with the oral hyms is amassing . I have adhd so I read the physical book and also listen to it on audible at 5.5 x speed and read every night before bed espically and this scares me this book in my own brain. I don’t know if I could survive the waterless flood…

Great story and reading but....
I really enjoyed the story but for some reasons the hymns included as part of the story have been turned into actual songs and it's fairly jarring to go from the narrator to a song then back to the story.
If these had just been read normally it would have been much more enjoyable

Probably how things are going to pan out.
Atwood dusts off her crystal ball for a glimpse into what is now our very near and very wacky impending doom. The singing is a bit bad but the writing makes up for it.

Brutal and Beautiful
This book has a way of jumping between the tragic and the joyous that is really gripping. I love the world that it is set in. It is a parody of the direction we seem to be headed with corporations. In a way I see our future in this story.

A plunge into dystopia
A fantastic reading of an excellent piece of fiction. If you enjoyed Oryx, you'll like YotF all the more.

Great reading, awful musical interludes.
Excellent continuation of Oryx and Crake, and a great reading. However the musical interludes were awful and not what I want from an audiobook. You can skip through them, but it was still very annoying.
