FTA:
The elite work feverishly like slaves in order to keep the morons 
productive.

The elite have had little success in solving The Problem for several 
reasons: 1) The morons must be managed, or else there will be chaos, and 
inevitably there would be five hundred million tons of rotting flesh 
left over; 2) it is not possible to sterilize all of the morons, as 
there are not nearly enough elite to do the job; and 3) propaganda 
against large families isn't working because every biological drive is 
towards fertility.

So...it's like being a sysadmin now, if this were limited just to 
technology alone instead of the novella apparently referring to society 
in general?
