The book 'Oryx and Crake' is about futuristic times, where the main character, Snowman, recounts old memories of his lover, Oryx, whose mysterious past is slowly revealed as the plot is, and his former best friend, Crake, who eventually goes insane and sets up his plot to form the new human race--where there is no jealousy or hatred or pain. But as he does this, he leaves his best friend Snowman, formerly Jimmy, behind to take care of them.
