| Annotation | Alien invasion followed by authoritarian dystopia in which humans become slaves working in fields with no machines. Most familiar things are abolished--no money, no meat or green vegetables, no TV, no cars, no cities, no schools, no telephones, no sex. Old and ill disappear. Children run things for the aliens and appear content but say that there is now no past and no future, just the present. |
