6/3/2023 0 Comments The day of the triffids 1951![]() ![]() ![]() Most ignore Bill’s warnings about the impending doom via plants hell-bent on killing man, as if sentient, but his caution helps him be one of the few ready for this new future. They have become a threat to humanity due to human vulnerability post-meteor shower. The only reason that humans have tolerated these invasive plants is that triffids are a “miracle plant” grown for their oil, which is used as a replacement for fossil fuels, cooking, cosmetics, and pretty much everything else. Bill is an expert on the ecology of The Triffids, a species of venomous plants that are capable of moving on their own and attacking humans if not properly managed. The story follows Bill Masen, a young man who has been spared from the blindness due to being hospitalized at the time with his eyes bandaged during the meteor shower (this would later be borrowed in the film 28 Days Later!). ![]() The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham is a classic British post-apocalyptic survival novel set in a future where most of the world’s population has been blinded by a meteor shower. ![]()
