   I really enjoyed the book, way back when. It was fun to see how     
   the story was envisioned to translate to the screen, but I     
   remember how satisfying the book was as a sci-fi, horror,     
   social commentary.   
      
   Perhaps the author was exploring what outcomes could evolve if     
   the tables were turned on who or what was at the top of the     
   food chain, so to speak.  In the story, humans are clearly     
   demonstrating their inferiority to the growing children and     
   their abilities.  Humans are the blight and the inconvenience     
   that need to be removed so that a more powerful version can     
   take over.  As humans, he tend to destroy anything that is     
   considered an invader or a disease. So, why can't the children     
   do that so that they can preserve themselves?
