The creation of his ideal world generated utter chaos‚ wiping out the human race to replace it with his bioengineered humanoids. Preceding the orderly eradication of the human race‚ the world was left in destruction and damage‚ though they were not the only remnants. A new world begins with the ending of the human race by cataclysmic epidemic followed by the emergence of a perfect race. Margaret Atwood’s science fiction
