Summary "This Crowded Earth" by Robert Bloch is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The story is set in a dystopian future plagued by overpopulation and examines the life of Harry Collins, a man struggling to navigate an increasingly crowded and dehumanizing urban environment. The focus is on themes of individuality, mental strain, and the search for personal freedom in a society burdened by oppressive regulations and societal norms. The opening of the novel introduces us to Harry Collins, living in the overcrowded metropolis of Chicagee in the year 1997. He is a bachelor faced with the absurdities of life in a cramped, single-room apartment and the frustrations of daily commuting in a city where space is a luxury. As Harry endures the chaotic rush of the city and grapples with persistent headaches and existential worries, he contemplates his own insignificance in a world that feels increasingly stifling. His thoughts shift to longing for freedom and a return to a simpler connection with nature, foreshadowing the deeper exploration of human experience and desperation in the face of societal constraints that unfolds throughout the narrative.
