This group began with Adam, known as "Adam One" to the Gardeners. Our protagonist Toby was a member of this group. The Gardeners sought to restore human interaction with nature and to value science as produced in nature rather than in labs deprived of a natural process. In addition to the MaddAddamites, Zeb’s stories reveal more about the Gardeners, which was a religious group of individuals created during the chaos.
He wanted to save human beings from themselves, and the remaining human beings living in the encampment with Toby were a part of this project, who were called the MaddAddamites. Crake caused the mass plague that killed the majority of humankind because he wished to rid the world of jealousy, hatred, and other useless emotions. Glenn would later become Crake, and the reader learns that Crake was the one who created the Paradice Dome project where he would kidnapped several intellectual minds in order to mass produce and distribute these drugs to the human population. Once Pilar died, she gifted a chess set with the bishop piece to a young boy named Glenn, whom Zeb had befriended during his time at HelthWyzer. Zeb hid the pills in a bishop piece of a chess set.
The pills were then given to Zeb to be smuggled from HelthWyzer and kept safe from the surveillance of the CorpsSeCorps, the group of the higher-ups who strictly monitored the daily lives of human beings during the chaos. The reader learns that the pills that caused the plague were made in a facility called HelthWyzer, and Toby's mentor Pilar was responsible for protecting the pills. As Toby tells the Crakers tales of Zeb’s life, the truth of the plague that killed humankind unfolds. As their relationship develops, Toby tells the Crakers the entire story of Zeb. Prior to this Zeb, Toby’s lover, returns from a long absence. Therefore, Toby steps in and begins to tell the Crakers stories about the world in chaos, which is the term referred to the time prior to the fall of humankind. Since Jimmy has been injured, he cannot fulfill his duty as a prophet. Two Craker men force themselves onto Amanda and Ren, which Toby later describes as a "cultural misunderstanding" (216).ĭuring their rescue mission, Toby and Ren rescued Jimmy, who was the prophet of the Crakers while Crake and Oryx were alive. When Toby and Ren return with Amanda to the cobb-house, the Crakers begin their mating season. Meanwhile, a group of Crakers, which are human-like creatures bioengineered by a man named Crake, join the human encampment.
While we assume Amanda has been raped, Toby and Ren find her alive and she is successfully retrieved from the Painballers. These Painballers would compete in gladiator-like arenas for the entertainment of the elite corporate class prior to the fall of humankind. In the first section, Toby and Ren, another member of the last few human beings, search for Amanda, a woman who had been kidnapped and raped by two men known as Painballers. MaddAddam tells the story of Toby, a woman who lives with the remaining humans after a plague has wiped out the majority of the human race. MaddAddam begins with a summary of the prior two books, Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood, which also takes place in the same near-dystopian future. The following version of this book was used to create this study guide: Atwood, Margaret.
