The Day of the Triffids

A strange book. Was it aliens? Was it GMO gone wild? The Russians? This is a tale of an aggressive plant taking advantage of a widespread catastrophe and eradicating life on the planet. The apparently global catastrophe could seemingly be unrelated to the triffids at all. Are triffids just displaying intelligence? Were they the cause of the catastrophe? Are they related to the catastrophe at all? How in the world was everyone globally affected? Some of the answers are fairly obvious, others barely touched. This book overall is mostly a personal tale of searching for the first connection made between two people at the dawn of the apocolypse. Some of the mannerisms are a bit dated, but it's a fairly positive (little too positive imho) outlook of how things might turn out in such a situation.
