The Chrysalids

Book • 1955
The Chrysalids is set in a future society in Labrador, Canada, where a harsh form of Christianity dominates and any genetic deviations are seen as blasphemies.

The story follows David Strorm and his friends, who possess telepathic abilities, as they navigate the dangers of their society and ultimately seek refuge in a more advanced and tolerant community in Sealand.

The novel delves into themes of morality, the fear of the unknown, and the complexities of utopian and dystopian societies.
