À propos de cet audio

 The world is crowded. Far too crowded. Its starving billions live on lentils, soya beans, and - if they're lucky - the odd starving rat.

In a New York City groaning under the burden of 35 million inhabitants, detective Andy Rusch is engaged in a desperate and lonely hunt for a killer everyone has forgotten. For even in a world such as this, a policeman can find himself utterly alone....

Acclaimed on its original publication in 1966, Make Room! Make Room! was adapted into the 1973 movie Soylent Green, starring Charlton Heston along with Edward G. Robinson in his last role.

dated story, but still relevant. anyone who says we weren't warned hasn't read it. if only there were voice actors available who have been trained in the language. perhaps this too is part of the warning. Uneducated people who live marooned in a sea of the uneducated, awaiting an ending, feeding on themselves, and though bellies are full, most minds are vacant.

I wish American readers could speak English.

E.M. Summerer does a great job narrating this 1966 novel about what futuristic 1999 will look like. Writer, Harry Harrison, predicts overpopulation, a complete lack of water and food, and everyone living a half-step from homelessness. Good thing that’s not what happened at all, right? Right?

While this book loosely inspired the film SOYLENT GREEN, do not go into this thinking that film (“Soylent Green is people!”) is remotely what this book is about. It’s a biting satire about birth control and overpopulation that takes jabs at the New York police force and organized religion. It is definitely entertaining, but at times far too preachy. My knowledge of Harrison is his STAINLESS STEEL RAT books, which are a lot more darkly comedic. This one is a solid police procedural wrapped around some heavy political statements.

Beautifully written but depressing.

One of those old dystopian books that sadly became real
