I was reading a rather interesting interview with the author Gene Wolfe and it left me with a lot to think about and wishing his new book "Home Fires" was in paperback or I'd got around to buying my E-Book reader so I could read it RIGHT NOW!
In the interview there is a really good line about his book and the bleakness of his near future world with its overpopulation and unemployment...
"Well, when you have overpopulation, that's what you have. If you have jobs for all those people, you're not overpopulated; you're just densely populated. But if you don't have jobs for those people, then you are overpopulated..."Oh yeah, In the world of "Home Fires" the cruise ships are all powered by sail...
