[While other books online have been read but still classified as new, this book was never read.] Riddley Walker is a haunting and inventive dystopian novel set roughly 2,000 years after a nuclear holocaust has obliterated modern civilization. The story unfolds in what was once southern England, now called "Inland," where society has regressed to an Iron Age level of technology and understanding. The story explores how myths replace history and how the pursuit of lost knowledge can lead to both enlightenment and destruction. It suggests that humanity is doomed to repeat its mistakes unless it learns from the past. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
