Make Room! Make Room!

by Harry Harrison
$11.90
Make Room! Make Room!
Make Room! Make Room!

Overpopulation nightmare; gritty ecological dystopian thriller.

"Make Room! Make Room!" might resonate with you if you're fascinated by both the resilience and the malleability of human nature. In an overcrowded world, this book manages to cut through the chaotic external noise to show individual struggles and desires, all while posing stark questions about our future. The narrative isn’t just propelled by a mystery; it's buoyed by its own relevance and the intense visual of a society on the brink. Whether you're into ecological warnings, or gritty urban tales, Harrison's work is prescient and eerily reflective of today's societal fears.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A gangster is murdered during a blistering Manhattan heat wave. City cop Andy Rusch is under pressure to solve the crime and captivated by the victim's beautiful girlfriend. But it is difficult to catch a killer, let alone get the girl, in crazy streets crammed full of people. The planet's population has exploded. The 35 million inhabitants of New York City run their TVs off pedal power, riot for water, loot and trample for lentil 'steaks' and are controlled by sinister barbed wire dropped from the sky. Written in 1966 and set in 1999, Make Room! Make Room! is a witty and unnerving story about stretching the earth's resources, and the human spirit, to breaking point.
