Before [[Logan's Run (film)|the movie]], '''''Logan's Run''''' was a novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson.
At the close of the 20th Century, the "Little Wars" broke out, resulting in a worldwide ban on all adults. Before you reached your 21st birthday, you were required to turn yourself in for "Deep Sleep" in which a pleasure-inducing poison gas sang you gently to your grave. If you ran away from this responsibility, a "palm flower" embedded in your right palm would turn black and alert the local Deep Sleep Men (euphemistically called "Sandmen") to hunt you down and kill you -- by shooting you with the Homer, the most gruesome, vicious, pain-inducing weapon ever devised by man.
