Did they ever mention the Earth's population?


Either in the movie or the book? All I found is New York is supposed to have a population of 40,000,000 in the year 2022. A huge overestimation, since it's only gone up by about 650,000 since 1970.

Well, this is only a movie, but if one suspends disbelief, the population of New York City could be 40 million. And as for the total world population, I'm going to guess maybe 1 trillion.

Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!
