An adventure story and a philosophical meditation on humanity's predilection for carnage and creation. --The Economist [Atwood's] most incisive and sociologically acute work. . . .

"Fiction master Margaret Atwood wields a mighty pen." --O, The Oprah Magazine
"Sardonically funny. . . . [Atwood] certainly has the tone exactly right, both for the linguistic hypocrisy that can disguise any kind of catastrophe, and for the contemptuous dismissal of those who point to disaster. . . .
