The novel is presented as a history of \“the greatest tragedy that ever befell humanity\” and \“the reclamation and re-organization problems that developed from it\” ([vii]) during which, passing through the tail of a comet in 1950 everyone on Earth became instantly blind. The blindness only last twenty-one days, and there is widespread destruction, all but around five percent of the world\&$\#$39;s population die, and the survivors are mostly starving. The focus of the novel, though, is on the recovery in which, under the leadership of MacKenzie, the general welfare of the entire population is the mantra, and a worldwide eutopia of equality emerges. Stress on the role of women in the recovery. Various racist comments regarding Blacks.
