"Day of the Triffids" is an excellent story. Highly relevant reading for people during the end of the Cold War era when people lived with the still continuing threat of Mutually Assured Destruction. These days we're most concerned about the spread of some horrible virus, but the effects of each would be the same. A sparsely populated world after a cataclysmic event leaves the story's main characters with desperate problems to solve. John Wyndham covers several interesting philosophical and social challenges. This is highly recommended reading.
