The Chrysalids by John Wyndham In a post-apocalyptic world where purity is law and deviation is a crime, a quiet rebellion begins—not with weapons, but with thoughts. David Strorm lives in Waknuk, a rigidly religious community that survives by fiercely enforcing genetic conformity. Any plant, animal, or person that is “abnormal” is destroyed or cast out. But David harbors a dangerous secret: he and a small group of others possess telepathic abilities—mutations in the eyes of their society, miracles in their own. As the pressure to hide their abilities grows and the threat of discovery looms, David and his friends must flee to survive. Their journey leads them beyond the only world they’ve ever known, toward a future that challenges everything they’ve been taught about humanity, normality, and evolution. A haunting and visionary novel, The Chrysalids is John Wyndham’s powerful exploration of fear, intolerance, and the resilience of the human spirit. It remains a cornerstone of dystopian literature and a chillingly relevant parable for our time.
