Oryx and Crake (Maddaddam Trilogy #1)

I'm a sucker for the post-apocalyptic, and I love the way this book imagines a future in which the most normal of men becomes something of God to the innocent offspring of the end of the world, all the while he's just trying to survive. The way Atwood describes the pre-apocalyptic world in flashback seems far too close to the truth.
