This dystopian tale comes from two science fiction authors,</span> <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_F._Nolan"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">William F. Nolan</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and</span> <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clayton_Johnson"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">George Clayton Johson</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">in 1976 with</span> <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan%27s_Run"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Logan’s Run</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. Logan is a “Sandman” who chases “runners” who wish to escape their creepy fate. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The original story was inspired by the turbulent campus life in the 1960s and caught the imagination of SciFi fans everywhere. The setting is 2116, and from the “Little War,” it was decided that in order for earth to survive, the population needed to be kept artificially down. People live with a “palm flower” that changes color as they age. When they hit 21, it is called their ‘last day” and to report to “Sleepshop.” It is there they are killed using a pleasure-increasing toxic gas. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Logan being a Deep Sleep Operative, he can tell when people are trying to escape their fate and run to a free land called “Sanctuary.” He uses a gun called a “homer” because it can “home” their body heat and evaporate them. Sandmen also use martial arts and generally have no sympathy for runners. </span
