Will just isn’t convinced about this whole Capping business-it’s unthinkable to question the will of the Tripods, whom the whole world views as benevolent masters, but Will is decidedly nervous about his upcoming Capping ceremony. but once you've been “Capped” you’re never quite the same.Ĭhristopher’s hero is a thirteen-year-old boy named Will Parker. The metal caps don’t seem to turn you into a total zombie. But there is one major downside: as soon as you turn fourteen, you’re sucked up into the belly of a three-legged, alien-controlled machine called a Tripod, and you’re not returned until a mind-controlling metal cap has been fused onto your skull. In some ways, it’s almost idyllic-a world without war or famine, where people are comfortably assured of their own destiny. As post-apocalyptic visions of the future go, the world in John Christopher’s Tripod series isn’t so bad.
