Anyone ever read it? I saw the movie years ago and always wanted to read the book. I notice sci-fi of that era (late 60s) deals with the consequences of overpopulation like the book Soylent Green is based on. It’s a society where people are “put to sleep” at the age of 21 in a future set years after the youth had revolted. I do perceive today that we dismiss elders because young people have “their truth”.

Anyway it is a good book and I didn’t know it was part of a trilogy. Currently reading the third one called Logan’s search
Yea. In the movie it’s 30 but in the book it’s 21
21 seems insanely young to me. 30 is more reasonable and usually the mark for when people really begin to look “adult”.
Granted, humanity used to have kids in their mid teens, if not the onset of puberty, so that would make 21 seem old.
