The Big Trip Up Yonder by Kurt Vonnegut — Review

This story paints a darkly funny but depressing picture of the future. Thanks to an anti-aging medicine, people live forever, leading to a terribly overcrowded world. We see this through a family crammed into a tiny apartment, all forced to serve their healthy, 100-year-old grandfather. 

The story's main idea isn't about exciting technology, but about how this "gift" of long life has ruined society, making life a boring and miserable waiting game where young people have no future.

Here is tge link to the text of the story:
