I've always assumed that overpopulation could be prevented by limiting families to two children. Is this not the case in the novel(s)?

- segfalt_ 2y agoNo, not at all. It’s a bit implied, there’s a few references to children only having a single sibling but it’s not a codified rule. Life largely went on as usual, but a lack of death and the benevolent god AI changed things up interestingly. The three novels take place hundreds of years after the established of the new way of living, there’s interesting insights about the repercussions of a deathless society and what it changes for the more extreme ends of entertainment.
