The White Mountains Book Talk

How would feel if everyone around you was enslaved to an alien race, and you knew absolutely nothing about what your ancestors knew. You knew nothing of electricity, steam power, or even gunpowder.you knew nothing of the past. Unfortunately, this is what the characters in "The White Mountains" by John Christopher experience. Way in the future, "Tripods" have invaded earth and enslaved the human race using a device called a "Cap" that controls your mind. To keep order in their newly conquered land, the Tripods destroy all advanced technology and return kings and nobles, farmers and peasants. Will is a kid living in a tiny city called Wherton, who is looking forward to capping day, when he receives a cap and enslaves him to the tripods. Until, a man named Ozymandias, a rebel to the tripods, tells the truth about the caps. Will attempts to escape to the White Mountains where the revolution is based. This book is a book I quite enjoy because it gives a sense of how the future might just, and just how reliant we are of what our ancestors have created to assist us. I would recommend this book to and fan of science fiction or "apocalyptical future" books.
