Through the eyes of a few residents on Earth's bloated surface we are shown society hitting the hard wall of too many people without enough resources. Harry Collins lives in a single tiny room without a window and hates the commutrain ride, which is like the black hole of Calcutta on wheels. If he can get his private car out of commugarage, he might be able to get to work on time. If only wasn't for his headaches. Surely, too many people is putting a strain on Harry--as it is on society. At work in a hi-rise, he peers out of his open window--ready to jump! But the government has plan for the overpopulation--a forced and desperate plan. By the author of Psycho.
