Book Review:
This book is a profound and deeply human exploration of what was, and remains, one of the world's most critical issues: global overpopulation. Pranay Gupte, a skilled journalist, moves beyond dry statistics to provide a vivid, anecdote-driven account of the human dimensions of the population crisis. He travels from the slums of Rio to the suburbs of Sweden, raising urgent questions about mass starvation, resource scarcity, and the political struggles that lie ahead.
Praised as a potential ''classic in the population field,'' the book is both excellent and deeply disturbing. It delivers a powerful message that while some battles are being won, the overall war against rampant population growth is still being lost. A chillingly immediate and essential read that brings a critical global problem into sharp, human focus.
