2022年,世界人口大增,单纽约市人口就达到四千万,大多数的房屋都是拥挤不堪,破烂不堪。蔬菜水果等天然食品都成了十分昂贵的奢侈品。大多数人依靠一个世界上很有威望的企业Soylent集团制造的人工食品为生,分别是“红soylent”(soylent red)和“黄soylent”(soylent yellow),这些类似饼干的食品被宣传为“高能量蔬果提取物”。Soylent集团最新推出的食品是产自“高能量浮游生物”的“绿soylent”(soylent green),但是经常供不应求,甚至引发购买者的暴动。

《超世纪谍杀案》(Soylent Green)是一部1973年发行的美国反乌托邦科幻电影,由李察·费里沙执导,查尔登·希士顿等主演。
内容根据1966年的科幻小说Make Room! Make Room!改编,描绘了一个由于全球暖化和人口过剩导致的资源枯竭的未来世界。真实的蔬菜水果变成极为昂贵的奢侈品,大多数人都依靠食用由大豆(soy)和扁豆(lentil)制成的 soylent 饼片度日。
