The sequel to Atwood's acclaimed "Oryx and Crake" and the second installment in the "Mad Adam" series. In "The Year of the Flood", the flood that mankind has long feared has finally arrived. This "waterless flood" had nothing to do with the biblical floods sent by God to sweep away evil and sin: it was a rapidly spreading disease that could not be suppressed by biological means, engulfing city after city like fire, turning the world into a slaughterhouse of corpses. This "flood" killed tens of millions of people and almost wiped out all traces of humankind. Ryan and Toby became the few survivors. In the shadow of a corrupt ruling power and the threat of a new genetically engineered species, Ryan and Toby must quickly decide their next move and not just lock themselves in a temporary safe house. The floods described in "The Year of the Flood" have nothing to do with the floods God sent to sweep away evil and sin in biblical stories. "The Year of the Flood" takes us into a weird world - both weird as the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and as absurd as "A Clockwork Orange". Everything has fallen apart. In a sense, Atwood's new film is a companion piece to his 2003 film, Oryx and Crake.

"Irregular Resistance Elements" continues Ishida Yiliang's consistent style, with twists and turns of the story and rich urban fashion elements, plus a cool and dark warm writing style, making it highly readable. "The story I want to tell this time is not the story in the United States or Central and South America where monopolies collude with dictators and wantonly exploit workers, but a real story that happens before our eyes. It is a story about transparent people who have been ignored by our society and formed a resistance army."
