Love Margaret Atwood. I didn't think she could top The Handmaid's Tale, but Oryx and Crake may have done it.

The book opens in a post-appocolypse world. We're then told the story leading up to disaster in flash-backs.

Great characters - wonderful building of a futuristic world - devastating look at the destructive impact of technology run rampant.
