About the book

Miller Jr.'s A Canticle for Leibowitz takes place in a post-apocalyptic future after nuclear war has largely destroyed civilisation. A Catholic monastic order preserves surviving fragments of scientific knowledge across many centuries while humanity slowly rebuilds. The novel explores faith, technology and the disturbing possibility that civilisation may repeat the same destructive cycle.
