My Petition for More Space

by John Hersey

I bought My Petition for More Space on a lark while wandering through SecondRun Bookstore. John Hersey’s 1974 dystopian novella on overpopulation (imagine living in an 8x12-foot square in a huge dorm area) quickly became one of my favorite books. If you liked George Orwell’s 1984 or Ayn Rand’s Anthem, find some space for this classic.
