  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Set in the near future,&#160;&lt;em&gt;The Wanting Seed&lt;/em&gt;&#160;is a Malthusian comedy about the strange world overpopulation will produce.&lt;/strong&gt;  Tristram Foxe and his wife, Beatrice-Joanna, live in their skyscraper world where official family  limitation glorifies homosexuality. Eventually,  their world is transformed into a chaos of  cannibalistic dining-clubs, fantastic fertility  rituals, and wars without anger. It is a novel  both extravagantly funny and grimly serious. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>
