Plot / Content: Afterword by Susan M Squier "Solution Three presents a future society in which reproductive control and homosexuality shape a more equitable life for all, eradicating aggression and racism, curbing overpopulation and providing a dependable food supply for the world. But there are those who are rebelling in this peaceful world of the future. Miryam, a geneticist, is secretly married and is reasing her own children despite taboos against heterosexuality. And Lilac, a surrogate mother chosen to carry a Clone baby, is delaying the moment her son will be taken away for social conditioning. In outlying areas, people clinging to the old ways revolt, killing a Council member and a Clone. Even the carefully conditioned Clones begin to behave in unexpected ways. This novel asks the courageous question, what is the cost to women of new models of reproducing life, regardless of the intentions behind the goal? Along with Miryam, Lilac and others, one wonders, is it time for a new solution - a Solution Four?

Quote from this book " Over the years the Council had met in several different places and many different ways. First, there had been the time of uncertainty, after the terrible crisis of Aggression and all that came of it, including the annihilation, as living and food-producing spaces, of large parts of the Earth's surface, including many major cities. Then the Councillors had kept to formality, sitting at spaced desks with the slight hum of the recording machines and the tiny clicks as they switched into their technical advisers and the picture beside the desk came alive and spoke. The first Council had been Her creation, Solution One, mainly to put through the food and population policy and to bring back sanity and order. Later, when it seemed as if things were working out, when they saw their idea of a world at last with a dropping population, and with the a genuine diminution of aggression, group or personal, the Council had sat round a table which had flowers in the centre - real flowers to keep them in mind of values easily forgotten.
