| Re: The Short Story Thread I'm sure it's been commented on here already, but I just finished reading Vonnegut's 2BR02B (pronounced To Be Or Naught To Be) and thought it was a very good story. The concept is that in the future all illness and even old age has been cured, so people only die when there is an accident or when they tire of living. But of course, with limited deaths there must be strict population controls, so no new life can be created unless someone is willing to give up their life. Great read very short, Vonnegut never fails to amaze. |
