Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison
Set in a dystopian future where overpopulation has led to a severe scarcity of resources, the novel paints a grim picture of a world teetering on the brink of collapse. In a sweltering, overcrowded New York City of 1999, the story follows a weary police detective as he investigates a murder amidst the chaos of a society strained by environmental degradation and social unrest. With food and water in short supply, the narrative explores the ethical and moral dilemmas faced by individuals struggling to survive in a world where the very concept of personal space has become a luxury few can afford, and the population continues to grow despite the planet's dwindling capacity to sustain it.
