This was brilliant. From time to time I give a shout out to the author of the dystopian sci-fi trilogy ‘The Beautiful Ones’, OM Faure. This trilogy was inspired ( sort-of ) by a You Tube video showing what happens to mice if allowed to breed in a confined space. I can’t remember if food and water were increased in proportion to the mouse population. The trilogy is about Overpopulation and the perils of believing we can have infinite growth of anything on a finite planet. Your readers might want to check it out.
Thanks for this. I'll take a look. Hopefully readers will make a note and check it out. Might be a hard sell for the Xmas season... But then again shopping is always a good time to be reminded of our excesses.
Brilliant and informative. A comprehensive, practical plan for turning back in our footsteps, spurning the craziness of the growth philosophy and adopting half-earther wisdom. Thanks for this.

It's a better read in the New Year. when we're all in serious mode and trying to think how we can be better humans in 2023!

Thank you, Ilo. There is so much good work and good thinking out there, and it provides a spark or two of optimism in writing about it.
