We first meet Jimmy after a cataclysmic event which seems to have destroyed most human life. Jimmy grew up in a world split between corporate compounds and pleeblands (unsafe, populous and polluted urban centers). His best friend was "Crake," the genius everyone respected. The two encountered Oryx on the Net; she was the eight-year-old star of a pedophilic film on a site called HottTotts. Oryx's story is a counterpoint to Jimmy and Crake's affluent adolescence. Jimmy meets Oryx much later-after college, after Crake gets Jimmy a job with ReJoovenEsence. Crake is designing the Crakers-a new, multicolored placid race of human beings. He's procured Oryx to be his personal assistant. She teaches the Crakers how to cope in the world and goes out on secret missions. The mystery on which this tale hinges is how Crake and Oryx and civilization vanished, and how Jimmy survived. .
