In "The Breeders" by AJ Underkofler, a dystopian future unfolds where humanity's survival hinges on a group of women known as Breeders. These women possess the rare ability to conceive and bear children in a world plagued by infertility. As societal tensions rise, they are both revered and exploited. The story follows one such Breeder who grapples with her role, the ethical dilemmas she faces, and the quest for autonomy in a system designed to control her. As she navigates the complexities of love, sacrifice, and rebellion, she must decide what it truly means to be free in a constrained world.
