    About this ebook

    These stories provide a brief glimpse into two very different, future societies, which have alternative approaches to procreation and parenting. In 'The Great Change', an epidemic, targeting fifty percent of the population, sweeps through a country on completion of a large, scientific experiment. The epidemic brings about profound changes in society. In 'Conception', a young man contemplates the imminent changes in his life as he enters the next phase of manhood.
