The Genocides
The Genocides is a dystopian novel by Thomas M. Disch, first published in 1965 as a paperback original by Berkley Books. Set in a world overrun by alien plants that systematically destroy Earth's ecosystem, the narrative follows a group of survivors trying to navigate through this hostile environment. The alien flora, known as the Plants, leaves no room for human existence, leading to a bleak scenario where humanity is on the brink of extinction. Disch explores themes of survival, environmental collapse, and the human condition amidst catastrophic alien invasion, offering a chilling and thought-provoking story of apocalyptic fiction. This first UK edition is also the first hardcover edition of this book.
