3.0

The year is 2381 and earth’s population has grown to 75
billion people and they've adapted to this situation by housing people
in massive skyscrapers called 'urban monads' each a thousand stories high, containing close
to a million residents per building.

Their religion is basically "be fruitful and multiply." 

At night the men go 'nightwalking' and select any woman to have sex with, non-monogamy is encouraged and contraception is considered a sin.

Anyone causing trouble or disobeying the rules faces the punishment of "going down the chute"

It was an interesting read, good but not great - so I've given it a moderate rating.

Still, definitely recommended - especially for the dystopian fan!
