Excerpt
She couldn’t deny the relief that immediately washed over when the Governor relayed his promise. While many women hoped for a moment alone with him, the chance to be brought into what chatrooms called his digital harem, an ever growing group of women whose wombs he cultivated to fulfill his mission to bring life to every corner of the planets. His incentives for the people behind the walls to multiply, championed not only by him, but the brain trust of Corridor West, were a key antidote to the decades-long declining birthrate .
The world had experienced such a rapid decrease in population. While many of the elites before the blackout who vied for power had emphasized how dangerous population growth was, the Governor had always had different take. The planets could never reach a maximum human capacity was his thesis, and he pushed back against the climate activists who thought the earth’s populations needed culling.
There was much speculation about just how many children he had sired, and just as much speculation about how the Governor sired them. A popular rumour circulated that he was a closet Mormon seeking to bring the afterlife to the here and now through a surrogacy baby boom. His goal seemed less about pleasure and more about efficiency. He didn’t enter marriages, he created surrogate stipends and fathering contracts. He was a hi-tech Genghis Khan, who wanted to put a stamp on the DNA of the human future.
