Today I finished reading Non-stop by Brian Aldiss, a science fiction book written in 1958 by a British author. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and would recommend it to anybody.

Briefly, it is set in a very large ship which was formerly occupied by colonists who had set out from Earth to another planet. A cataclysm had taken place, and many years later the ship has overgrown with vegetation and several distinct groups of humans occupy different levels of the ship; some of them more primitive than the others.

If you are interested in plants, space, tribal societies, aliens, superstition, and post-apocalyptic fiction then you will like this book. The way it slowly reveals a greater truth of the ship is compelling.
