About this audiobook
To Be or Not To Be.
2 B R 0 2 B is a satiric short story that imagines life and death in a future world where aging has been "cured" and population control is mandated and administered by the government. In a future where sickness and disease are a forgotten memory, and death itself has been cured, population control requires special consideration, and the concept of 'Life for Life' has a new definition. In short, in order for someone to be born, someone must first volunteer to die. As a result, births are few and far between, and deaths occur primarily by accident.

Man, this one really made me think. Is this something that our planet will come to? With the possible upcoming enhanced identification laws, will we be forced into a future of a controlled population? I've read several articles about how the latest generation to go into adulthood may never have to die like those in this story. Will they also have to make a choice like the father did? I honestly wouldn't want to have to ask or pick who has to die in order for another to live. Anyways, I really enjoyed this story. It'll probably be rolling around in my head for a while.
