Conformist dystopia in an overpopulated world. The focus of the story is one man who keeps the last zoo, holding the last few small animals on the planet. For the good of society, he is asked to get rid of them. He does and kills himself also. \"And after that there was really perfection. for all over the Earth, there was . . . not one unsettling thought, not one unusual idea, to disturb the universal placidity that meant that the exquisite nothingness of uniformity had at last been achieved\" (165-66).
