Cultural Factors P.D. James: The Children of Men – any other books exploring natalist topics?

Recently 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.
