HTML:The bestselling dystopian novel that inspired the 1970s science-fiction classic starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, and Richard Jordan.
In 2116, it is against the law to live beyond the age of twenty-one years. When the crystal flower in the palm of your hand turns from red to black, you have reached your Lastday and you must report to a Sleepshop for processing. But the human will to survive is strong--stronger than any mere law.
Logan 3 is a Sandman, an enforcer who hunts down those Runners who refuse to accept Deep Sleep. The day before Logan's palmflower shifts to black, a Runner accidentally reveals that he was racing toward a goal: Sanctuary. With this information driving him forward, Logan 3 assumes the role of the hunted and becomes a Runner.… (plus d'informations)
L'histoire du roman est plutôt convenue, passant d'un lieu dangereux à un autre. Certains aspects demeure intéressant, mais un problème omniprésent dans tout les ouvrage de l'époque traitant de dystopie (cf. les premier roman du cycle des robots d'Asimov, Les Déserteurs Temporels de Silverberg...) le rend passablement risible à la notre: on y décrit que le monde est surpeuplé et les États-Unis en état de disette sévère avec 6 milliards de personnes sur terre! Sans compter que je ne peux imaginer quelque situation que ce soit où la population nord-américaine de moins de 30 ans puisse causer une rébellion à cause d'un contrôle des naissances! ( )
[...] even though talking about Logan’s Run elicits mostly snickers and spoofs, the source material is actually worth a serious look because it presents one of the more colorful and interesting dystopias in SF literature.

Box lived in a white world. He moved in storms of dusted ice and loneliness. He did not tire; he was never cold; a part of him never slept. His world was porcelain and pale marble, alabaster and bone ivory. He made castles of bergs and palaces of glacier cliffs. He cloud-wandered the frozen immensities. And was content.
Runners say *please*; runners say *help*; runners say *mercy*; runners say *don't*.
Doyle had said *Sanctuary*.
[M]ost of his people were under fifteen, but what they lacked in maturity they made up for in fanaticism.
Dying young is a waste and a shame and a perversion. The young don't build. They use. The wonders of Man were achieved by the mature, the wise, who lived in this world before we did. There was an *Old* Lincoln after the young one.
