Bill Masen awakens in a hospital, blindfolded, only to discover that a meteor shower has left the world blind, except for him. As society crumbles, the triffids—massive, venomous plants capable of walking and preying on humans—emerge to dominate. “The Day of the Triffids,” published in 1951, delves into the political anxieties of its era, such as the Cold War and the dangers of genetic modification, making it eerily relevant today.
