Difficult to sign up to their rules when most of the rules are going to have to change anyway in the face of a changing situation.

He says those who have survived...he didn't add 'and can see' though that is what he meant. Harsh. Wyndham is very much a 'survival of the fittest' type, which is one of the things I don't like about him. Even if it's the cold hard truth? Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

I suppose I think that it's a cold hard truth he arrives at rather too quickly, and rather too gleefully. |

I will have to re read some Wyndham to see how I find his writing after so many years since I last picked one of his books up.

Yes, here we are - women must have babies, men must work. We can support women who can't see, not men who can't see. URGH. They don't have enough food for themselves, why are they prioritizing producing more hungry mouths at once? |

I suppose I think that it's a cold hard truth he arrives at rather too quickly, and rather too gleefully. I don't think we can judge Wyndham from our post-modern standpoint. He's positing a situation and suggesting how people will deal with it - and is largely correct,, especially in those times. The questions he's asking are 'what if?' and leaving us to find our own answers. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Anne - you can say whatever you like: that's why we have a Forum! I hope I'd find different solutions, too, but who knows?

Whether you like Wyndham or not, he gets us asking difficult questions. Maybe there is no right or wrong answers

If everywhere was dark, being blind wouldn't be as much of a problem. THey'd probebly do better, because their senses would be more used to it.

This community is going nowhere fast. What happens when the food runs out. Is Coker thinking about that?
