Looking for a book about the future (already read 1984) where natural resource contraints, overpopulation etc. have de-stabilised the current economic order, and that reflects upon what the world will be like once that has happened.
Anything even slightly related about be useful.

Ah..
read Kurt Vonnegut Jr's.'s collection of short stories in "Welcome to the Monkey House"
overpopulation relates ones are-Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and also Welcome to The Monkey House"
there are a few more, the whole book is fascinating.
I highly recommend it.

It's about the future but not those issues. It's about what would happen if our government were overthrown and more and more people were becoming barren.
It's called The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.
