Margaret Atwood’s dystopian MaddAddam trilogy is a text that enters a speculation into a post-apocalyptic fall-out of environmental disaster and autocratic corporations, a global pandemic and extreme bio-scientific experimentation provide the catalysts for feminine subjective becoming.
Atwood positions the book as a treatise on the ambiguous potential of powerful tools, and the role of humanity in determining the fit use for such tools: "Our tools have become very powerful.

Suicide and execution are standard viewing materials. Although Crake genetically engineered the Crakers, Snowman has been left with the task of building their moral and philosophical universe. Crake attempted to edit out many of the qualities that he felt were ultimately pitfalls of the human species. Snowman notes that many of these things cannot be edited out.
Crake and his group of enthusiastic scientists realize that their utopian aims have ultimately led to the corruption of the natural world. Oryx and Crake depicts a world devastated by a biotechnological war by capitalist corporations competing for the control of dangerous organisms. Atwood warns us against the commercial exploitation of threatening bioforms. She voices her concerns regarding biopiracy through the depiction of Health Wyzer, a genetic engineering corporate house which develops bacteria and fraudulently sells drugs to contaminate people with diseases it itself creates. Atwood at her vociferous best highlights how through their dishonest schemes the scientists endanger the lives of people at large. Crake, the trickster scientist
