Being married to a programmer is like having a cat. You talk to it but you're never really sure if it hears you, much less comprehends what you say.

Oh! and you know it's your time when the gem on your hand turns red. Also, Logan 5 is a special police officer that kills "runners" that are people who try to run away from their carousel.

Legend of The Seeker wrote:You might want to read the book as well, it is a different story, but with a lot of similarities and explores the society in greater depth.Not to mention that the book had the age at 21, not 30, which makes more sense as to why the whole of that society wasn't very "experienced", if everybody was only 20 or less. As far as I know (hadn't read it), that was the main point of the book.
