No falling asleep in the hammock? Don't linger by the BBQ? Bear invasions. Summer reading is never required, but this might be a good one if you haven't read it as it has proved prophetic. The Beast in the Garden. From a 2003 review by Glenn Reynolds, TCS: It's a standard theme, from old tales to modern stories like Harry Potter and Buffy. The modern twist is that some people see it as moral to take the side of the people-eaters. One suspects that this isn't so much in spite of the people-eating, but because of it.
One way eco-liberals rid the world of too many people. Another Darwin effect. But there might be a few unwary, unintended consequences.
