Story
Kurt Vonnegut takes us sometime in the future, where old age has been conquered and it's a perfect society. Almost. When old age has been conquered, you can imagine the problem with population. How do you resolve that? Population control! Someone comes in, someone goes out. There is even a number to call for voluntary termination, 2BR02B. How clever: "to be or not to be" from William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Story
Kurt Vonnegut creates a near-perfect world. There are no prisons, no slums, no insane asylums, no cripples, no poverty, and no wars. All diseases were conquered. So is old age. Death, barring accidents, was an adventure for volunteers. The population of the United States is stabilized at forty-million souls. Have a problem? Not really, just call the Federal Bureau of Termination. Nothing to it. Just pick up the phone and call 2BR02B. Thus the title, "To be or not to be".

Story
Three disparate and suspenseful looks at ourselves in three very different worlds. These engaging short stories by three of the masters of American science fiction literature, Isaac Asimov, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., and Philip K. Dick, open windows into our psyches, our souls, and our surroundings that presage the world we find ourselves in today. Like episodes of The Twilight Zone, cinematic in their language and characters, the stories connect with our times in surprising ways.

Billy Pilgrim, amerikanischer Veteran des Zweiten Weltkriegs, überlebte 1945 den "Feuersturm" auf Dresden als Gefangener im "Schlachthof 5". Nach dem Krieg lebt er mit seiner Frau und seinen zwei Kindern in Ilium, New York. Doch dann geht sein Sohn nach Vietnam - und Pilgrim selbst wird auf überraschende Weise zum "Pilger zwischen den Zeiten". Kurt Vonnegut, Zeuge des "größten Massakers in der Geschichte Europas", verarbeitete sein Trauma in diesem Roman, der zum Kultbuch der Anti-Vietnam-Generation wurde.

Story
It is 2158 A.D, where Old Gramps Ford and his sizeable family are all cooped together in their ramshackle Alden Village home, with Gramps regularly cutting members of the family who misbehave out of his last will and testament. The reason the family is so sizable is an anti-aging drug was discovered and widely distributed when Gramps was 75 years old, and it is now 102 years later, and the family is still breeding, with nobody dying off. Eventually things become quite crowded.

Story
"2 B R 0 2 B" (pronounced: to be or not to be), was first published in 1962, and introduces the listener to a future where old age has been cured, population control has been implemented to keep the United States population at exactly 40 million, and death is voluntary. "The Big Trip Up Yonder" was published in 1954, and is similarly themed (old age has been cured), but in opposite. This story follows the Ford family who has 23 members spanning several generations all living together in a small one bedroom apartment under the tyrannical head of the family, "Gramps".

Em um futuro não muito distante, pós uma nem tão distópica Terceira Guerra Mundial, as máquinas finalmente venceram. Quase tudo foi automatizado e logo a sociedade se dividiu sob um novo sistema de estratificação não mais baseado em dinheiro, mas sim em inteligência. De acordo com seu QI e capacidade intelectual, os indivíduos são classificados e registrados em um cartão perfurado e sua posição social ― um destino de glória ou esquecimento―só pode ser definida a partir da análise desses dados.

The setting is a society in which aging has been cured, individuals have indefinite lifespans, and population control is used to limit the population of the United States to forty million. This is maintained through a combination of infanticide and government-assisted suicide. In short, in order for someone to be born, someone must first volunteer to die. As a result, births are few and far between, and deaths occur primarily by accident.

Story
What if there were a product that taken daily and barring an untimely accident or murder allowed one to live indefinitely? In Kurt Vonnegut Jr's fanciful tale, that is just what happens. At first the miracle product Anti-gerasone seems like a blessing. But what if the population keeps breeding? How to make room for the new ones. And then there is the problem of the curmudgeon who doesn't get the stuff until he's in his late 70s becomes head of the family and is still going strong 104 years later.
