You surely would say: "This is similar to..." Well, yes, those zombie/vampire movies, "I Am Legend", "The Road", etc. But this must have been THE original and even if I was expected to dislike it without its "novelty", it was still and engrossing read for me. Triffids are plants. One day, they suddenly decide to walk. They are blind, but they can sense and somehow hear. They do not move fast, but they can shoot poisoned arrows from their stems, they aim at your head, and if you're hit you die. Men however did not destroy these triffids and instead tried to culture them for some useful purposes. But there was this prolonged meteor shower which practically everyone watched. Those who watched went completely blind the next day. Killer plants, then they went blind. But it wasn't enough. The plague came next killing many. There are few survivors (and we're talking worldwide), most of them blind. A few still have their eyesight, having failed to watch the meteor shower (a character doubts this was purely a meteor shower, maybe some sattelites with lethal cargo got hit, he says). The triffids are easy to kill, but they can as easily multiply. They are as blind as the blind humans but they are much better sensing things. They can even somehow communicate. Food and fuel running low; triffids multiplying fast, feeding on the rotting corpses. How do you find hope in such a world? What happens to the sense of right and wrong, to love, marriage, happiness and memory? There are plenty of ruminations like these here apart from triffids being barbecued by flame throwers. That is why this will remain new to its first-time readers and has remained a must-read classic.
