Stand on Zanzibar - Futurism at its Best - Extra Sci Fi

How do we cope with a crowded world we as humans were never evolutionarily designed for? Stand on Zanzibar was written in 1968 but it uncannily, accurately predicts many of our present day's social tensions and stressors. However, it also has a certain optimism that makes it stand out among other dystopic fiction we've discussed.
