The Government: More population issues crop up in Logan’s Run, but the government of the film’s unnamed domed city have come up with a fairly simple way of dealing with them. As soon as citizens hit thirty, they’re legally obliged to top themselves. Anyone trying to pull a fast one can expect a call from a Sandman, a laser-gun wielding enforcer charged with helping the process along a little.
On the flipside, life up until thirty is a relative breeze, with no work to be done and sexual pleasure available on tap. Obviously, there’s the whole enforced death thing to deal with, but if you can see past that…
Better Than Labour? Ritual suicide is a bit of a tough-sell, but they’ve managed to sort out fuel emissions in the dome so they’d probably get the green vote.

Erm...Runnning Man anyone? That film was eerily accurate. An old t**t running a show who think he's god (anyone?). Women fantasising about rape, wrestling stars turning into actors, people obsessed with reality tv c**p, media altering things to control ordinary people. It's all happening.
