The planet's population has exploded. The 35 million inhabitants of New York City run their TVs off pedal power, riot for water, trample for lentil 'steaks', and sweat beneath a sweltering sun. Amid it all, a city cop tries to catch a gangster's killer and vie for the affection of a dangerous woman...

Offering a disturbing vision of the future and a groundbreaking exploration of the dangers of overpopulation, Harry Harrison's Make Room! Make Room! is a keystone work of science fiction -- and the basis of the cult film Soylent Green.

A bracing, revelatory experience
