The Children of Men (later turned into a film by Alfonso Cuarón) is a dystopia set in 2021 in an England in which infertility is endemic, and the population is steadily declining. "I didn't think of it as science fiction at all, actually.

And I wondered what sort of world we'd get if infertility was absolutely general and complete, so that a time came when nobody was giving birth. It's a grim book, very grim – there's chaos at the heart of it." - P.D James, author of the novel.
