After the discussion of trilogies (and Martini-Corona&#8217;s eternal John Christopher obsession), I decided this project wouldn&#8217;t be complete without a Tripod book. The Tripod trilogy (&#8230;heh) might have been the first major YA science fiction trilogy, and is certainly a classic.

If you somehow missed these books, the premise is that aliens invade, in giant metal [...]]]></description>

Apocalypse how? Aliens. The Clordians didn&#8217;t want to compete with humans for habitable planets to colonize, so they wiped us out. The Clordian Sweep &#8220;rapid[ly] disintegrat[ed]&#8230; all carbon compounds, which destroyed all life.&#8221; (Not to mention all paper records of knowledge, all wooden structures&#8230; the thoroughness of this destruction is impressive.)

Sorry it&#8217;s been awhile. Fortunately the 7th grade trip to New York was not apocalyptic in the slightest. Anyway, speaking of New York, it&#8217;s the setting of today&#8217;s old-school apocalypse! In the future, everyone lives in vast suburban Tracts in little boxes made of ticky-tacky. All Cities have been evacuated and sealed, deemed too filthy [...]]]></description>

In Children of Morrow, we meet Tia and Rabbit, slightly deformed (and oh P.S. telepathic) outcast children in a post-apocalyptic village. The primitive village grew out of a military base, worships a dead nuclear warhead, is patriarchal to a degree that would make Margaret Atwood blush at the crass obviousness of it all, and generally [...]]]></description>

All Amy knows is the endless corridors and grimy roach-infested apartments of the city.
