The Day of the Triffids. Once, in the evening, the inhabitants of London watched with interest an unusual phenomenon - a green rain of stars that illuminated the entire sky. The morning witnesses of the mysterious phenomenon woke up blind, and soon it became clear that almost the entire population of the Earth was deprived of sight.
Great changes were coming to the world. Those few who have managed to preserve their sight gain almost limitless power and access to the resources accumulated by mankind. But trouble, as we know, does not come alone - and a third force comes into play: triffids, intelligent predatory plants that can move and hunt humans. An elaborate security system designed to contain the very valuable but extremely dangerous plants fails, and the triffids break free... Chrysalis.

One of the best dystopian works of 20th century NF! "Deviations from the norm" have no place in the villages of the new Puritans - descendants of the few who survived the nuclear catastrophe that befell humanity. Animal cubs that show the slightest sign of mutation are destroyed. With human babies are treated "more mercifully" - they are simply sterilized and thrown out into the wild jungle, at the mercy of other feral mutants languishing there. But can the ruthless preacher-judges and their fanatical flock recognize all "deviations"? Unbeknownst to them, children are growing up with a powerful paranormal gift ...
