Description	Children of the Dust is a post-apocalyptic, dystopian novel, written by Louise Lawrence, published in 1985."The real truth is that these "novels of ideas" never really went away. I'm not sure I'd be right to see any more of a trend than when Margaret Atwood was writing The Handmaid's Tale, Antony Burgess A Clockwork Orange, Louise Lawrence Children Of The Dust, Ray Bradbury Fahrenheit 451, Franz Kafka The Trial ... and so on." Literary apocalypse now, and then. Sam Jordison, The Guardian, 4 December 2007. Retrieved 1 February 2014. The book details three generations of a family during the aftermath of a nuclear war. The survivors of the blast suffer through radiation, nuclear winter, feuds between rival groups and radiation-induced mutations, eventually evolving into a new species, Homo superior. The new species has adapted to the loss of the ozone layer and the abundant radiation, and will become the dominant species on the planet.The book contains three sections, one for each generation. The novel offers some hope that humanity could survive the horrors of war (as an allegory for the current age) in order to form a new world.
