Nae-Nee confronts the major taboo of our time: the conflict between human overpopulation and the human desire to pass on one's DNA, and to rest assured that the next generation will care for the previous one and continue all that matters to it. Our planet is being stressed past capacity due to biodiversity loss, rising sea levels, floods, droughts, overdependence on fossil fuels, and climate change. The human species is in dire trouble due to overpopulation. But nanite technology has brought about Nae-Nee, a safe, reliable, user-friendly form of birth control. Nae-Nee is a microscopic robotic device. The world's leaders have drafted a treaty at the United Nations, and every nation has signed it. All women must have a government-registered Nae-Nee device. Every birth must be licensed, and not everyone will get one. The novel is followed by a comprehensive bibliography that acts as a case file on global warming and human overpopulation.
