56 years ago this was edgy stuff, now it's a big ol' marshmallow fluff and creamy peanut butter on bargain white bread sammy.There's a name for those things. Anyone remember what it is? Anyway. Unless you're a Vonnegutterian and completist, this needn't take up your RAM or induce your REM.

2BRO2B: Where utopia and dystopia coalesce.

4.0 stars. Dark, satirical look at a future United States where people can now live indefinitely and the population is kept at a constant forty million. This population (without natural death) is achieved through a combination of infanticide and government-assisted suicide. For someone to be born, someone else must die.

Vonnegut writes a story of a Utopian society where there is no poverty or disease, where ageing and even death have been vanquished. Strict population controls are in place; capped at 40 million.In a world where death is no longer a natural inevitability, for every birth, a voluntary death must take place. 2BR02B, - to be or not to be - the hotline number for the Federal Bureau of Termination.This was excellent.

Vonnegut employs expert, minimalist precision in 2BR02B. He gets the point across succinctly as his short fiction is honed like a well-maintained bathtub razor.

The title alludes to Shakespeare's Hamlet, for the 'zero' in 2BR02b is referred to in Vonnegut's short story as 'not'. Anyone who is a Shakespeare enthusiast, or well, really anyone who has gone through the public school system,

A short interlude while waiting for the next George R.R. Martin book, a short story downloaded from the Gutenberg Project. An even shorter interlude than expected as it turns out; the second half of the book turns out to be the Gutenberg licence which considerably shortens the read.But, while the story is short (and it is really short) it's a clever allegory set in the future where ageing has been conquered and consequently population growth must be tightly controlled. One in equals one out. In
