Knowing About The Best Science Fiction Books

By Mattie MacDonald


Every child living within this world should take the time to read a good novel or short story that will make them smarter. Some of these greater writings can be located within the best science fiction books. There are many to choose from but a true space fan will love "Logan's Run." This is one story that will frighten many people and amaze quite a few others. It takes a look at human mortality, poverty, corrupt law officials and a variety of other things which exist around the globe.

While reading this novel any reader will be surprised to learn that the people living within a dome city cannot live beyond the age of thirty. Once an individual turns thirty years old they are forced to enter into an arena which will destroy them. All other citizens of this particular city come to view their exciting elimination.

All of these thirty year old people stand in the center of the arena and raise their hand. They will show the audience that the symbol within their palm has changed colors. This is the time that they will need a brand new body. While this is happening every other person living within this dome is having sex with any human that is around.

This is normal behavior for anyone who is living in this society since they are all very young and have strong carnal urges. The women and men know that their life span is short and they spend most of their time satisfying one another. Each person has a machine in their room which can select a man or woman for pleasure.

Due to the promiscuous behavior of all adults every new baby within this society is abandoned at birth. The hospital takes the time to nurture each infant and prepares them for the world. These children will never really know their parents and they will be given special names. It is not unusual when a new child has a digit assigned at the end of their name.

If a child comes from a family which is poor then they are required to live in the dangerous area of the dome. This is a place that is quite horrible and carries all types of terrors. The people living on the outside have to fight for survival every day and this can be very straining on them. The dome society has decided that these people will only make it to their eighteenth birthday.

Many of the citizens inside of this dome have decided not to attend the arena event once their palm has changed colors. Instead they will do their best to sneak out of the city and run. This happened to Logan since he was ordered to find a place called sanctuary. After his escape the sandmen decided to hunt him down like an animal and bring him back.

Every individual who goes on the run has to face many dangers which lurk outside of this city. Quite a few of them are captured by a robot who enjoys freezing human beings. This robot is very sadistic and he uses the frozen people for food and nourishment. Logan and his companion were unfortunate enough to encounter this evil force that lived in the caverns.
