Summary: "The Stilled Patter" by James E. Gunn is a speculative fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The narrative explores the implications of a catastrophic societal shift caused by the dissemination of controversial truths about parenthood and birth control, ultimately leading to the depopulation of Earth. The book delves into the dynamics of gender relationships and the age-old battle of the sexes, suggesting how entrenched societal norms can unravel in the face of new realities. The story is told through the voice of Andrew Jones, who grapples with guilt over his unintentional role in precipitating this downfall. After exposing misleading information in popular baby care literature, his findings prompt a drastic decline in birth rates due to the introduction of a contraceptive pill that severely limits male fertility. As society collapses, Andrew reflects on the consequences of his actions while awaiting the return of his companion, Lindsay. Through his internal struggle, the book examines themes of responsibility, gender roles, and the often hidden realities of family life, leading to a haunting picture of a world on the brink of extinction.
