The Guardians by John Christopher
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardians_(novel)
I remember reading this novel in English class in 1974. Does anyone else remember it?
------------------------------------------------
The Guardians is a young adult science fiction novel written by John Christopher, originally published in 1970.
Set in the year 2052, the novel depicts a future, authoritarian England divided into two distinct societies: the modern, overpopulated "Conurbs" and the aristocratic, rarefied "County"; the former consists of crowded city districts and all-pervasive technology while the latter is made up of manors and rolling countrysides typical of 19th-century England. The novel follows a young Conurban named Rob as he comes to experience life in both worlds, uncovering truths and choosing sides in the process.

John Christopher also wrote The Tripods
