The Earth and peaceful , non combative, Eco minded humans are surviving the invasion by Aliens that resemble mutant Minotaurs. The bovine Aliens for the most part ignore humanity. They occupy themselves with reducing cities to rubble to be plundered for raw materials and have built giant plants to remove methane from the atmosphere. They have knocked out all energy plants, save their own. In a human community known as the Farm. People live an agrarian communal non polluting life free from, ageism, homophobia, and gender discrimination. The main threat to their community has never. Been from the Aliens, but from other aggressive and violent people looking to gain power and restore the old rat race.For the most part I enjoyed the book except the idea of such a utopian society and the idea that cities are evil big polluter dismayed me. Cities reduced to rubble would also destroy mans accomplishments in architecture and art. Great centers of learning, libraries, museums would also vanish. Not everyone has the temperament or abilities for communal living. There is no place for the feeble minded or crippled. Artist, actors, musicians, novelist, poets, gymnasts, and so many other talented people don't fit in this scenario. I also was curious about the Aliens and their lack of interest in the indigenous humans. The story is well paced and well written.
