Synopsis
The world is crowded. Far too crowded. Its starving billions live on lentils, soya beans, and --if they're lucky--the odd starving rat.
In a New York City groaning under the burden of 35 million inhabitants, detective Andy Rusch is engaged in a desperate and lonely hunt for a killer everyone has forgotten. For even in a world such as this, a policeman can find himself utterly alone....
Acclaimed on its original publication in 1966, Make Room! Make Room! was adapted into the movie Soylent Green in 1973, starring Charlton Heston along with Edward G. Robinson in his last role.

Review
"Harrison's fictions constitute one of the main monuments in modern SF." --Paul Di Filippo, SciFi.com
From the Back Cover
With an Afterword by Harry Harrison
'A cautionary tale of what might happen if American consumption goes unchecked' Los Angeles Times
It is 1999 and the planet's population has exploded. The 35 million inhabitants of New York City run their TVs off pedal power, riot for water, loot and trample for lentil 'steaks', and are controlled by sinister barbed wire dropped from the sky. When a gangster is murdered during a blistering Manhattan heat wave, city cop Andy Rusch is under pressure solve the crime, but also captivated by the victim's beautiful girlfriend. It is going to be difficult to catch a killer, let alone get the girl, in crazy streets crammed full of people, and a world going into meltdown.
Written in 1966 and made into the science-fiction film Soylent Green, Make Room! Make Room! is a witty and unnerving story about stretching the earth's resources, and the human spirit, to breaking point.
