的封面 Robert Bloch: Crowded Earth (ePUB)

This Crowded Earth is one of the early entries in the overpopulation subgenre. It begins with Harry Collins in that far-future year of 1997, and follows him through various adventures to 2065. Harry is one of the growing number of people who can’t stand the over-crowded cities. He lives in a cramped bachelor’s apartment — he could upgrade to a larger one if he’d get married, but he’d also have to add an hour to his commute each way, bringing the total to six hours. One day he suffers a mental breakdown and is sent to a bucolic clinic in the country, where he soon enters a relationship with a nurse. Or so he thinks. A doctor at the clinic approaches him with the truth — the "nurse" is another patient who was instructed to deceive him in order to start a tryst. They’re both, in fact, part of an experiment to solve the over-population problem. The doctor is apprehended by the Powers That Be at the clinic, and Harry is told the man’s a nut. But soon his "nurse" disappears and he ends up in a relationship with another … and then another … and another. Bloch plays coy about what exactly the experiments are about, but we eventually learn that they’re part of a project to end overcrowding by breeding midget babies. (Goodreads)
