I'm currently reading Dan Brown's 'Inferno' based around similar topics.. It's fictional, of course, but is centered around some pretty interesting and somewhat disturbing statistics...
Things like Thomas Robert Malthus' Principals of Population give a pretty grim view of the future: plagues, famine, economic downfall, resulting in an inevitable "purging".. Pretty disturbing stuff..
(before someone points out the obvious, yes, I know Dan Brown is an author of Fiction and has next to no credibility, but I enjoy his stories for what they are; stories)
