Zardoz

Novelization of John Boorman's 1974 film of the same name, a post-apocalyptic science fiction piece set in the 24th century. According to the director's film commentary, the 'Zardoz world' was on a collision course with an "effete" eternal society, which it accomplished, and in the story must reconcile with a more natural human nature. Boorman collaborated with Bill Stair on the novelization.
