This could be tomorrow's history written today. It is a well-known, if often ignored, fact that what we do today impacts the future. Growing up Jimmy was under-appreciated. He received little encouragement and little was expected of him. So how did he become Snowman, an ordinary human of whom great things came to be expected, specificately by his best friend, Crake, and illusive love, Oryx.

What becomes of Jimmy/Snowman and the turn of events that bring him to that place is what Margaret Atwood writes about so well. There are really only three words I can say, READ THIS BOOK!
