HH: "Bob Silverberg had an interesting idea for an anthology. Isaac Asimov would do an introduction to the volume and outline some possible world futures that might be caused by different advances in biology ... One of the futures intrigued me ... What interested me also was the chance to write about a utopia. A utopia that particularly appealed to me - one where the population problem was solved ... Of course there has to be trouble in utopia, at least a little trouble, since no matter how perfect a world it is there are always some people who just won't enjoy it." (Best of Harry Harrison)
