Summary "Regeneration" by Charles Dye is a science fiction novel written in the early 21st century. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has regressed to primitive tribal societies, the book explores themes of survival, belief, and the conflict between emotion and reason as individuals navigate the remnants of a technologically advanced past. The central narrative centers on the rediscovery of an advanced artifact, misinterpreted as a deity, and the struggles for power and understanding it encourages. The story follows Builder, an old man who has dedicated his life to guiding a small tribe towards progress and civilization after a cataclysmic event. He faces opposition from Thougor, the tribe’s priest, who has harnessed the tribe's emotional investment in the newly discovered "god" Thor, an automatic dishwasher unearthed from the ruins of the past. As the tribespeople become enamored with superstition and ritual, Builder works tirelessly to complete a crucial dam to secure their future. Tension escalates as Builder's rational approach clashes with Thougor's manipulation of faith, leading to a series of events where Builder ultimately attempts to regain control of the narrative and seek a true understanding of progress, even in the face of danger from his own community. The novel concludes with a satirical twist, revealing the true identity of “Thor” and reflecting on the circular nature of human understanding and belief.
