%X This article approaches the science fiction series "Tales of the Continuing Time" from an animal studies perspective: examining Daniel Keys Moran’s future earth which uses the means of respecting other intelligent species (artificial intelligences, genetically engineered beings, and aliens) rather than enforced bans on fertility to stop human population growth. Moran’s world government, the Unification, does not enforce such bans effectively, despite taking over the Earth for this purpose. Moran’s novels offer a picture of what happens when the rhetoric around population growth, and possibly justified fear, obstructs human will and human self-restraint.
