"A Seed of Desire" (1962) is a dystopia in which Anthony Burgess describes the near future where the world suffers from global overpopulation. Here, loneliness and refusing to have children are encouraged. Cannibalism and pointless wars are considered the norm. The author portrays the chaos underlying human vices with too much realism. And it makes the reader wonder: โIs it possible to create an ideal world where imperfect people live?โ
