“Watch Thou For The Mutant”: The Chrysalids by John Wyndham
Перевели как "Ищи и найди мутанта", но я тут задумался: а что же это все-таки значит?
Поиск заглавия темы в кавычках и другие попытки выяснить смысл заглавной фразы дает ссылки, да, на эти самые "Хризалиды" )
У меня вариантов два:
1 Следи за собой, не мутант ли ты -- Смотри, не превратись в мутанта
2 Внимание свое насторожь — нет ли мутантов кругом
Watch thou for... )

Kind_Punk,
surely you're aware that any title can only be properly interpreted AFTER reading a book.

Personally, I found this statement – ‘Watch thou for the mutant!’– the most impactful as it was the only one that was completely blunt about the society’s dislike for difference. While others encourage one to be normal, this blatantly declares its opinion in a negative way. It measures the fundamentalism and strict rule of the society well. In the book Chrysalids, it has already occurred - Sophie is forced to hide her difference or else face terrible consequences. However, it appears to be one of the most controlling aspects of David's society. It means to watch out for people who are literally mutants, physically and mentally, and also implies to watch out for difference. Although it only says to watch out for mutants, it is highly likely that to be a mutant also does come with consequences.

May it have some connection with the prayer?
Evening Prayer of Saint Augustine
Watch thou, dear Lord,
with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight,
and give thine angels charge over those who sleep.
Tend thy sick ones, Lord Christ.
Rest thy weary ones.
Bless thy dying ones.
Soothe thy suffering ones.
Pity thine afflicted ones.
Shield thy joyous ones.
And all, for thy love's sake.
Amen.
