Cloning begins as a last-ditch attempt to save the human species as the environment goes wrong, reproductive abilities decline drastically, and society falls apart. The clone society develops in ways that severely restrict individual liberties (and in fact, the formation of individual identity at all), and later generations of clones begin to lose creativity and intelligence.		* [[Kate Wilhelm]].

	* [[David Brin]]. ''[[Glory Season]]'' - A society largely composed of women and a few men use cloning (with male sperm as an activator) as the major reproductive strategy; with some reproduction of a few individual males and females who are not part of the influential clone families. Impregnation is accomplished with sex and tied to season; during most of the year the sperm activates the egg to reproduce but doesn't contribute any genetic material, resulting in a female clone. During the summer, however, sperm and egg combine to produce a "variant," male or female of mixed genetic heritage.		* [[David Brin]].
