I really enjoyed the book, way back when. It was fun to see how  
the story was envisioned to translate to the screen, but I  
remember how satisfying the book was as a sci-fi, horror,  
social commentary.

Perhaps the author was exploring what outcomes could evolve if  
the tables were turned on who or what was at the top of the  
food chain, so to speak.  In the story, humans are clearly  
demonstrating their inferiority to the growing children and  
their abilities.  Humans are the blight and the inconvenience  
that need to be removed so that a more powerful version can  
take over.  As humans, he tend to destroy anything that is  
considered an invader or a disease. So, why can't the children  
do that so that they can preserve themselves?
