Question: What's that book based in the future!.!.!.!?
It's based in the future where everyone over a certain age gets killed due to overpopulation!. I need it for a project due by 2:30 PM today, anyone!?

There was a spoof on it in Family Guy where Brian is being chased by police officers in a futuristic setting and when caught he says "Well what about that guy!? He's got to be 50!" and the camera turns to Snoopy!.

Does anyone know what book this is!!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Logan's Run" by George Clayton Johnson

""Logan's Run" is a real classic of the 60's!. The authors develop a world where no one lives past youth; at age 21, to avoid overpopulation (and presumably war and other social issues) one reports to a Sleepshop to be drugged to death!. To police this policy, a liquid crystal flower is inserted into the palm of each infant, and it changes color with your age, from early childhood to child to youth to finally blinking black-red (last-day) and then black!. Sandmen are dispatched to capture runners who don't report to the Sleepshop!.

Logan, a Sandman, finds than on his Lastday, drugs and sex don't replace the nagging feeling that life is to be lived with more than 21 years of hedonism!. He becomes a runner, and like so many others, tries to find the mythical Sanctuary, where one can avoid the mandated death sentence!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
