| book description |

From one of the earliest feminist science fiction writers, a novel that envisions the fall of civilizationâ€”and the plight of the modern woman in a post-apocalyptic wilderness. When war breaks out in Europe, British civilization collapses overnight. The ironically named protagonist must learn to survive by his wits in a new Britain. When we first meet Savage, he is a complacent civil servant, primarily concerned with romancing his girlfriend. During the brief war, in which both sides use population displacement as a terrible strategic weapon, Savage must battle his fellow countrymen. He shacks up with an ignorant young woman in a forest hutâ€”a kind of inverse Garden of Eden, where no one is happy. Eventually, he sets off in search of other survivorsÂ .Â .Â .Â only to discover a primitive society where science and technology have come to be regarded with superstitious awe and terror. A pioneering feminist, Hamilton offers a warning about the degraded state of modern women, whoâ€”being â€œunhandy, unresourceful, superficialâ€â€”would suffer a particularly sad fate in a postapocalyptic social order.
