> A book from a very popular author (no name because spoiler) The author's name is a spoiler? Are you talking about P. D. James' The Children of Men?

  > The author's name is a spoiler? Yeah because it would spoil the book. By mentioning the book nor the author, you don't realize that you know the spoiler until you've already read 90% of the book. In case someone does want to know, in rot13: vasreab ol qna oebja

    How would you buy or borrow this book without knowing the name? Ed: having rot13 that, I still don't see how it's a spoiler...

      You wouldn't be able to get the book, that wasn't the point of the comment. I'd have liked to be able to recommend the book, but then we can't talk about its conclusion, and the book also isn't that much in depth (it's mostly entertainment). If I wanted to mention the author or title, I'd have to put the situation description behind some kind of spoiler protection and only those who want to be spoiled or read it already would be able to take part in the discussion. I don't understand what's unclear about spoilers: what I described (a part of the world population infertile) is only revealed in the final like 10 pages of the book. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned that there is a book at all, since it isn't super in depth anyway. But I also don't want to pass it off as an idea of my own.
