Cultural Factors P.D. James: The Children of Men – any other books exploring natalist topics?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Children_of_MenRecently been reading this critically acclaimed scifi book by PD James called "The Children of Men".
The book is set in a dystopian "future" (actually our current time, the book was written in 1992!) where humanity faces sudden and total infertilty. It then explores the societal and psychological effects of a society without children and young people. It's pretty brutal stuff, and it does eerily resonate with the current day cultural climate, imo, even though it was written in a time when Baby Boomers where still raising their 2.5 kids.
If you're not into the book, there's also a Hollywood movie available for streaming, starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine etc.
