{"product_id":"book-hvar","title":"Kurt Vonnegut, Jr : Two Science Fiction Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese two stories by Kurt Vonnegut were written almost a decade apart but they are definitely connected. The Big Trip Up Yonder, published in Galaxy Science Fiction January 1954 is a comical yet scary description of what over population was going to do to society after aging was conquered and a simple daily dose of \"anti-gerosone\" would keep you forever the same age. Would Gramps EVER take 'That Big Trip Up Yonder', or would his hordes of descendants be stuck with him forever in a tiny apartment!?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 B R 0 2 B, published in Worlds of If, January 1962 takes this basic situation many years into the future and a solution has been found. The population of the US has dropped from 40 billion to 40 million. Not what everyone would call a pretty solution, but nevertheless a solution to the population problem. I believe this is the type of story it is best to listen to, not describe, so enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49409516142896,"sku":"BDhvar","price":3.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/hvar-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773549491","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hvar","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
