Chrysalids

by John Wyndham

New York Review of Books · 2008 · 224 pages

In a future where genetic purity is paramount and deviation is heresy, young David lives under a rigid doctrine that condemns any anomaly as blasphemy. When he discovers his own secret psychic abilities, he must confront a society that fears and persecutes what it doesn't understand. This chillingly prescient novel explores themes of prejudice, conformity, and the enduring human hope for a better world, making it a vital read for anyone concerned with the clash between tradition and progress.
