Make Room! Make Room! is a 1966 novel written by Harry Harrison, and later used as the basis for the science fiction movie Soylent Green (although the movie changed the plot and theme). --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_Room%21_Make_Room%21 [Aug 2005]

The original 1966 book Make Room! Make Room! is set in the year 1999, with the theme of overpopulation and overuse of resources leading to increasing social disorder as the millennium celebrations approach. It mentions soylent steaks, but makes no reference to "soylent green" or to the ideas of euthanasia and cannibalism which form the basic theme of the movie. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green#Trivia [Aug 2005]
