For more than thirty years, the outstanding Canadian writer Margaret Atwood has been creating works of amazing originality and depth, repeatedly awarded with prestigious literary awards, including the Booker Prize (for The Blind Assassin), the Arthur C. Clarke Award (for The Handmaid's Tale), etc.

"The Year of the Flood" is a continuation of the sensational dystopia "Oryx and Crake", an ambitious panorama of a world that stood on the verge of a man-made catastrophe - and stepped beyond this edge of a world where almighty genetic engineering rules the roost and only Heli-graders in their garden are trying to preserve the diversity of wildlife in the world, in which the fur-haired girl has a direct path to the nightclub "Scales" - a favorite hot spot of both the cool guys from the Settlement and the bigwigs from the guarded settlements of the Corporations.
