I am a HUGE Margaret Atwood fan, but this book was disappointing. Very bleak outlook on the future of the human race and the human psyche, set in the aftermath of the virtual extinction of the species. The protagonist is the friend of a mad scientist who created the perfect race, then died to a plague. He serves as the teacher and guide of this new race in this post-apocolyptic world.
