The Genocides

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The Genocides is a 1965 science fiction novel by American writer Thomas M. Disch, first published by Berkley Books as a Berkley Medallion paperback. It was Disch's first novel and was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel for 1965. Set on an Earth overrun by enormous alien plants, the novel depicts the collapse of human civilization in the face of an ecological transformation that renders humanity largely irrelevant. Later critics have described it as a bleak environmental apocalypse and an apocalyptic black comedy, and have noted its unusual treatment of alien invasion, in which the invaders remain indifferent to humanity rather than engaging with it directly. The novel received contemporary praise from Judith Merril and has since been regarded as one of Disch's most important early works. It was later included in Stephen E. Andrews and Nick Rennison's 100 Must-Read Science Fiction Novels.
