Kurt Vonnegut Jr : Two Science...

Jr. Kurt Vonnegut

These two stories by Kurt Vonnegut were written almost a decade apart but they are definitely connected. The Big Trip Up Yonder, published in Galaxy Science Fiction January 1954 is a comical yet scary description of what over population was going to do to society after aging was conquered and a simple daily dose of "anti-gerosone" would keep you forever the same age. Would Gramps EVER take 'That Big Trip Up Yonder', or would his hordes of descendants be stuck with him forever in a tiny apartment!? 
2 B R 0 2 B, published in Worlds of If, January 1962 takes this basic situation many years into the future and a solution has been found. The population of the US has dropped from 40 billion to 40 million. Not what everyone would call a pretty solution, but nevertheless a solution to the population problem. I believe this is the type of story it is best to listen to, not describe, so enjoy.

Arabia 2079 - Spark in the desert

Henrici Walpole

In 2079, two forces vie for control of Arabia. One embraces tradition and advocates equality, while the other seeks to improve the world through technology and insists on the rule of the many by an elite few. Their fight for supremacy will change Arabia forever and determine its future. Prince Abdulaziz is the heir to the House of Saud, leader of the loyalist rebels. He has amassed an army to help him take back his ancestral throne and build a future in which every Arabian has a chance at a prosperous future. His ally, friend, and greatest weapon is Reham. Only with her skills and knowledge will the rebellion stand a chance against the advanced technology of the Eastern Corporation, their nemesis. The EC believes in a better future through employing technology to combat climate change, increase food security, and reduce the human population. It also believes such knowledge must be held only by those who deserve it: the corporation’s council. The EC sees itself as a guiding force for those who don’t know what is best for themselves. One man has an agenda of his own. Away from the eyes of the EC council, Grand Master Mogira has been producing soldiers for his Purple Order. The Purples are beyond the control of the EC council and spark heated debate about their role in society. As the two visions for Arabia clash, a conspiracy is growing behind the scenes. Those with their own interests at heart are gathering power, and if their plans succeed, no one—not the rebels, the EC, or any of the other powerful nations of the world—will be able to stop them from taking what they feel is their due.
