Galouye, Daniel F. -- Dark Universe
No memory of this at all. Oh! Right, it's the post-holocaust one about
a group of people living in total darkness. High-concept and
imaginatively done, and from 1961 when that was unusual. They have
what we'd call superhuman audio discernment, and navigate via sonar
(clicking rocks together or whatever's at hand). Then the higher-tech
surface survivors come with flashlights and bring them back to
civilization, and they lose the hearing talents. I wanted there to be
irony in this, but I couldn't find any. Good book though.
