Great read! Recommended.
Penguin again brings great reading at affordable prices. I purchased Chrysalids after remembering that Wyndham had also written The Day of the Triffids; which I read some years ago. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where extreme religious views has become LAW and an intolerance of differences, where difference is punished by torture and execution. A warning to TODAY's societies as we see the rise of religious fundamentalism. A "us and them" mentality. Australia/USA/Europe you have been warned. ScienceFiction becoming Fact?? Chrysalids is not only insightful and thought-provoking, it is also fastpaced, surprising and a enjoyable read. I thoroughly recommend it even to those readers who don't normally read SciFi.
