The Death of Grass by John Christopher

4.0

This book. Whew. Until the last few pages, this struck me as just another male master-of-the-universe ass-kicking savior fantasy. But no, this is a commentary on the superiority-complex-wielding society of the stiff upper lip and how quickly that would crumble when faced with a truly apocalyptic scenario, and also a wrenchingly biblical tale of two brothers.

Of special note is the rapidity with which women become commodities under male dominion. The horror.
