Zeb and Adam One (from The Year of the Flood) grew up as half-brothers. After Zeb and Toby become lovers, he tells her about his previous career. Similarly to the previous two books, the narrative switches periodically into the past. These characters reunite with other survivors, develop a camp and start to rebuild civilization with the Crakers, all while the vengeful criminals (Painballers) stalk them. Ren and Toby meet up with Jimmy, the protagonist from Oryx and Crake. The narrative starts with Ren and Toby (protagonists in The Year of the Flood) rescuing another survivor (Amanda Payne) from two criminals, who had been previously emotionally hardened by a colosseum-style game called Painball. The novel continues the story of some of the same characters in the wake of the same biological catastrophe depicted in Atwood's earlier novels in the trilogy. MaddAddam is written from the perspective of Zeb and Toby, who were both introduced in The Year of the Flood. While the plots of these previous novels ran along a parallel timeline, MaddAddam is the continuation of both books. MaddAddam concludes the dystopian trilogy that began with Oryx and Crake (2003) and continued with The Year of the Flood (2009). MaddAddam is a novel by Canadian writer Margaret Atwood, published on 29 August 2013.
