this building is still around (it's now an Ecuadorian restaurant called El Bacano) but it was renovated almost beyond recognition about 15 years ago

Should anybody feel like doing a bit of a search -- because I have tried and so has EH5 -- it was a novel from the 70s, pretty standard writing, written in the wake of that Japanese Sarin gas murderer that was averted, IIRC, that novel predicted this kind of thing and attributed it largely to 'population pressure,' or some other amorphous theory, but until somebody addressed this whatever-it-was there would continue to be mass spree killers and that who and what they were didn't really matter because they were responding to something powerful and irrational that's deep inside all of us. Or something, I'm not sure the end was all that resolved. But it was a novel of probably less than 150 pages and Google and Amazon have let me down so far.

idk about the fictional book you're looking for, but it sounds like it was inspired by the Calhoun "rat utopia" experiment:

quote:

Using a variety of strains of rats and mice, he once more provided his populations with food, bedding, and shelter. With no predators and with exposure to disease kept at a minimum, Calhoun described his experimental universes as “rat utopia,” “mouse paradise.” With all their visible needs met, the animals bred rapidly. The only restriction Calhoun imposed on his population was of space – and as the population grew, this became increasingly problematic. As the pens heaved with animals, one of his assistants described rodent “utopia” as having become “hell” (Marsden 1972).

Dominant males became aggressive, some moving in groups, attacking females and the young. Mating behaviors were disrupted. Some became exclusively homosexual. Others became pansexual and hypersexual, attempting to mount any rat they encountered. Mothers neglected their infants, first failing to construct proper nests, and then carelessly abandoning and even attacking their pups. In certain sections of the pens, infant mortality rose as high as 96%, the dead cannibalized by adults. Subordinate animals withdrew psychologically, surviving in a physical sense but at an immense psychological cost. They were the majority in the late phases of growth, existing as a vacant, huddled mass in the centre of the pens. Unable to breed, the population plummeted and did not recover. The crowded rodents had lost the ability to co-exist harmoniously, even after the population numbers once again fell to low levels. At a certain density, they had ceased to act like rats and mice, and the change was permanent.

Been kinda expecting this to become a thing eventually. They need to be at war with somebody at all times, and they think they've defeated abortion already. If this comes to its natural conclusion, they'll be trafficking women for Jesus in no time flat.

Two years after the founding of the settlement, Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, changed its name to "Cincinnati", possibly at the suggestion of the surveyor Israel Ludlow,[14] in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati.[15] St. Clair was at the time president of the Society, made up of Continental Army officers of the Revolutionary War[16] who named their club for Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, a dictator in the early Roman Republic who saved Rome from a crisis, and then retired to farming because he did not want to remain in power.
