Superior post-apocalyptic story by Harlan Ellison that got made into an ok movie. Boy and his mutant, telepathic, dog strive to survive in post-nuclear America. Boy meets girl and the usual complications arise, capped by a visit to an underground hell on Earth known as Topeka where the good citizens have a little survival problem of their own. Concluded with an ironic definition of good taste.
