Last Sons of America

This is a self-contained 4-chapter short story that explores a dystopian scenario: what if Americans weren't able to conceive children? To what length would people go to have a child in such a world?

It really is an interesting topic and I fish the story were longer, allowing us to see more of this fictional world, to see a broader perspective on people affected. In the story, it's been a couple of decades since Americans were unable to have children, so the entire society must've re-shaped itself around that.

I can't say the story is bad because it's short. The author managed to wrap up the whole thing neatly in 4 chapters, allowing us to get to know the main characters and get a feel of what was going on. At the same time, it did make the whole thing a bit rushed. Other than making me empathetic with the main characters, it didn't really give much else to ponder on.

In any case, I still enjoyed reading this book and I'm interested to check out some other works by this author.
