The+Wanting+Seed

Population Overload By Rebecca Riley

//The Wanting Seed//, by Anthony Burgess is a graphic portrayal of the future. It takes place in a drastically over-populated world where food is rationed, homosexuality is government supported, and housing is a flat with furniture that comes out of walls and ceiling. Every chapter seems to introduce another controversial topic and turns it into the norm in this mixed up world. Overall, this novel—however frightening—was absolutely great. I highly recommend to anyone who's interested in a shocking dystopian novel. The world that Burgess manages to create is imaginative and strikingly detailed, and anybody would be able to appreciate it.
