A World After Humanity: The Last Man Standing
Imagine waking up alone on a beach, wrapped in a dirty bedsheet, possibly the last human alive after a bioengineered apocalypse. This is Snowman's reality. Once called Jimmy, he now survives on meager supplies while watching over the Crakers-genetically engineered humanoids with luminous green eyes who approach him with curious fascination. These beautiful, naked beings bring him treasures from the ruins: a hubcap, piano key, computer mouse. "These are things from before," he explains in his kindly voice. They've developed theories about him: that he was once a bird who forgot how to fly, that he's cold from eating fish. When they leave, Snowman screams at the ocean: "Crake! Asshole! You did this!" But only the waves answer. The Crakers represent the vision of Snowman's brilliant but disturbed friend Crake-perfect humans engineered to be peaceful, innocent, and utterly alien to Snowman, who feels his humanity slipping away with each passing day. As he looks at his grimy, bug-bitten body with thinning hair and yellowing toenails, he laments his physical decline. This is the aftermath of scientific hubris and corporate greed-a new world where humanity has been replaced by its own creation.
