Произведения Дж.Уиндема "День триффидов", К.Педлера и Дж.Дэвиса "Мутант-59" относятся к жанру научной фантастики. Соединение в одном издании этих романов-предостережений усиливает звучание их общей темы - темы ответственности ученых перед человечеством. The works of J.Windem "Day of triffids", K. Pedler and J. Davis "Mutant-59" belong to the science fiction genre. The combination in one edition of these novels of caution reinforces the sound of their common theme - the theme of the responsibility of scientists to humanity.
John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris was the son of a barrister. After trying a number of careers, including farming, law, commercial art and advertising, he started writing short stories in 1925. After serving in the civil Service and the Army during the war, he went back to writing. Adopting the name John Wyndham, he started writing a form of science fiction that he called 'logical fantasy'. As well as The Day of the Triffids, he wrote The Kraken Wakes, The Chrysalids, The Midwich Cuckoos (filmed as Village of the Damned) and The Seeds of Time.
