In the 1970s, scientist John B. Calhoun created a “mouse utopia.” A world without hunger, disease, or danger. Food was endless, water was clean, shelter was plentiful. It was meant to be paradise.
Instead, it became a nightmare. Violence, neglect, and sterility spread until the entire colony died out. The project became infamous as Universe 25—a chilling lesson about the dangers of comfort without purpose.
This book retells the story of Universe 25 and draws its unsettling parallels to our own time. From falling birth rates to lonely megacities, from consumerism to digital grooming, the echoes are hard to ignore. Humanity dreams of freedom and abundance—but what if those dreams are exactly what destroy us?
With sharp insight and dark humor, Universe 25: When Perfect Is Not Enough is not just about mice. It is about us. And it carries a warning: be careful what you wish for.
