Lots has changed since the last post, this book progresses very quickly. Logan meets over 10 new characters in under 50 pages. The character that sticks is Jess, Jess is the sister of the runner Logan killed in the beginning of the book. They’re suddenly in the whole adventure together, whether Jess is up for it or not. Logan has also gotten trapped and captured throughout all of the world, being in the snow and ice of the north to the mountains in Mexico.
This whole book reminds me of the Bladerunner 2049 movie. This whole dystopian world that’s sad and has different combinations of worlds and terrains throughout the story. Then there’s the way they explain the technology of the time. They have hologram advertisements, high tech biometrics, and then a outcast agent with a futuristic gun. A regular citizen in our book progresses in life very quickly because of their age limit of 21. You’re not allowed to keep your own child just to help this process of them growing up. In the book they also turn into thrill seekers in the latter years of their life just because they know what’s to come at 21 years old. But compared to a normal citizen now, they really aren’t that different in Logan’s Run the progression of life is much faster. Instead of being wild and crazy in your 20’s and 30’s it’s your teens and even younger. I will comment on Sofia and Mercedes blogs

If you could only live till you were 21 would you live your life differently? Why or why not ?

I definitely agree that the book is similar to the concept of BladeRunner, and I think it is really similar to a lot of dystopian future novels. Do you think Logan can be compared the main character in Fahrenheit 451? I noticed that they both discuss a scenario where a character rebels against his own job/role in his society.
