![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Let me just say that although this storyline is not his typical genre, he doesn’t stray too far than what he is known for: empowering women. However, I have read 1984 and both novels obviously center on a dystopian future where the little guy is trying to hopelessly escape the “Big Brother” government. Instead of killing people at 65, they kill them at 21. I’ve not read Logan’s Run, but the story is the same premise, albeit way more extreme. This is very reminiscent of two books: “1984” by George Orwell and “Logan’s Run” by William F. Trollope write this in the 1880s and he actually premeditates some events that actually happened in the 1980s. The book is out of whack for a few reasons: This college would give them a full year or rest and relaxation, whereupon at the end of this year, they were to be executed, or as they graciously explain, retired. What is the fixed period? This was a law put into place that when a member reached the age of 65, they would be taken to the “college”. For the most part they are a very productive and efficient group, until their proposed law of the “Fixed Period” is finally about to be enacted. “The Fixed Period” is a story taking place in the 1980s where a community living on an island off of England has decided to develop it’s own government and state, called Britannula. ![]()
