Lianyungang, a booming port city, has China's most extreme gender proportion for children under four: 163 males for every 100 females. These volumes don't seem to be terribly grim, however in a decade, the skewed gender ratio will create a colossal challenge. By the time these children reach adulthood, their technology will have 24 million more men than women. The prognosis for China's neighbors is believe it or not bleak: Asia now has 163 million females "missing" from its populace. Gender imbalance grows to considerably beyond Asia, affecting Georgia, Eastern Europe, and metropolitan areas in the U.S. where there are significant immigrant populations. The planet, therefore, is now increasingly male, which mismatch is likely to create profound communal upheaval. Historically, eras in which there were an excessive amount of men have produced periods of violent conflict and instability. Mara Hvistendahl has written a stunning, impeccably researched reserve that does not flinch from examining not only the results of the misbegotten plans of gender selection but Western complicity with them.
