"The children of men” by PD James
“In this astonishing novel, an entirely new departure in her writing, PD James imagines a future England where human infertility has spread like a plague. By the year 2021 no babies have been born for a quarter of a century, not since Year Omega, anywhere in the inhabited world. The very old are being driven to despair and suicide, and the final generations of the young are beautiful but violent and cruel. The middle-aged are trying to sustain normality under the absolute rule of Xan Lyppiatt, the charismatic dictator and Warden of England.”
