Very interesting, and very different

Revisado: 08-06-18

I love dystopian fiction, and the world of Logan's Run has fascinated me since I initially discovered the movie in high school. I always say that all good science fiction should make you think, should present an idea or concept. While the concepts of the immediate threat of nuclear war and overpopulation found in Logan's Run were prevalent in the 1970's, it's sequel, Logan's World is even more significant to today's world. In Logan's Run we see a society in which the computer, the Thinker, had been running society, controlling not only the people, but also all robots, other computers, and basic services like electricity. In this book, Logan is dealing with the consequences of having destroyed the machine after returning to Earth roughly seven years after the events of the first book. This book speaks to the ideas of over-reliance on computers, and the effects on society in which the oldest person is in their 20's, and humanity no longer knows how to behave in a civilized fashion after years of self serving instant gratification under the Thinker. It is a fascinating book.....one I highly recommend.
