Peter Miller of Freebird books on the Brooklyn waterfront wrote in to let us know about the Chrysalids' cameo in a segment the store's post-apocalyptic book group filmed for AMC's Science Fiction blog. When asked why the store hosted such a group, Peter remarks that, given the store's industrial setting (which despite such dire description, looks stunning in the clip), "to be honest, if there were an apocalypse, it'd look more or less the way it does now."
Freebird's post-apoc group discussed John Wyndham's Chrysalids the other week. Next up is Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake and a Valentine's day apocalyptic-themed shorts festival.
The book group might also want to look into The Slynx by Tatyana Tolstaya or The Inverted World by Christopher Priest (and of course, The Apocalypse Reader, edited by Justin Taylor).
