Description
Charles Dye wrote Regeneration, a science fiction tale of a far-future tribe. Morge, an old man of the tribe, fears the death-things around him. His ancestors left those things lying about before they vanished. Builder, wisest of the tribe, teaches what the ancestors were. The tribe both hates and fears that inheritance. Dye sets civilization's ruins under primitive eyes. The death-things are old machines and weapons, plainly.
Post-collapse stories ask what knowledge survives its makers. Dye's tribesmen read our world as magic and menace. The title promises some form of rebirth for humankind. Pulp magazines loved the ancient-astronaut angle in reverse. This tale shows the theme in early, earnest form. It is a fable about technology outliving understanding.
