Abstract

"Make Room! Make Room!" by Harry Harrison is a 1966 dystopian novel set in a grim, overpopulated New York City in 1999 and tells the story of Police Detective Andy Rusch, who investigates a murder committed by a desperate young man while struggling with the scarcity of resources, overpopulation, and a corrupt society controlled by the wealthy elite. As societal breakdown looms, Andy faces personal loss, the harsh realities of inequality, and the despair of a world that continues to grow beyond its capacity to sustain itself.
