Very much so with Day of the Triffids. John Wyndham also wrote a fabulous actual ‘post’-apocalyptic novel, The Chrysalids, which I can’t recommend enough. DOTT was a big influence on me. I would recommend checking out the 1981 BBC TV series (proving that beards have always been cool). And if you’ve read it, then watch 28 Days Later and look at how a novel can be lifted almost plot point by plot point and refreshed into something for a new generation.
