An older book that I read as a child of the 80s. The themes of extremism, mistrust of the “other” and the dangers of nuclear holocaust are as relevant – maybe even more so – than they were when this book was written. Ironically it hasn't dated at all.
A must read for young people
An interesting and thought provoking story about humanities ‘rebirth’ several centuries after a global nuclear conflict. Wyndham tells a good tale, and if you like ‘Day of the Triffids’ then you will like this also. An interesting note is the prominent part New Zealand plays in this story. It's a fairly brutal and dark book, that also mocks man's views and interpretations of religion. Worth reading.
