Los Angeles: A. D. 2017
by Philip WylieA stark and terrifying vision of an apocalyptic, environmentally ravaged near-future world from a twentieth-century master of thought-provoking science fiction In a writing career that spanned six decades, Philip Wylie created an astonishing body of work that ranged from science fiction to suspense to philosophy to social criticism, while inspiring the creation of such iconic characters as Superman, Flash Gordon, Doc Savage, and Travis McGee. In Los Angeles: A.D. 2017, based on Wylie's own teleplay written for the hit 1970s TV series The Name of the Game and directed by a young Steven Spielberg, the author imagines a dystopian future in which environmental disaster has driven the remnants of humankind belowground. By the year 2017, a series of ecological catastrophes have eliminated most of the earth's population while destroying the America we once knew. The few who have survived live in underground bunkers beneath the ruins of the nation's major cities, controlled by ruthless corporate entities that have remolded the devastated society into USA, Inc. This is the nightmare into which crusading magazine publisher Glenn Howard awakens after forty years of sleep. As a powerful twentieth-century entrepreneur, Howard is expected to join the elite. But in this dark future age, population numbers are strictly controlled by computer; the aged, infirm, and unproductive are mercilessly eliminated; and all dissent is punished by death. For an idealist like Howard, accepting the new status quo is unthinkable. But the alternative--working with a secret rebel committed to overthrowing the cruel corporate masters--could prove the most dangerous route of all, a path that leads inexorably to one unthinkable outcome: erasure.

The Lost (The Outer Limits #4)
by John PeelFrom inside the book: Stacy was stunned. Justin's hair had been cropped short, and he looked like he'd scrubbed his face. Instead of jeans and a T-shirt, he was wearing a shirt and tie, with slacks and dark shoes instead of sneakers. "Jeez!" she exclaimed. "What did they do to you? Put you on Oprah for a makeover?" His face lit up. "Hi, Stacy," he said, cheerfully. "It's great to see you." She pulled away from him slightly. "Justin? Are you okay?" "Never better, sweetheart," he assured her. Sweetheart? Stacy stared at him, totally confused. He never called her that! What was going on here? "What happened to you?" Amy asked, considerably less tactful than Stacy. She stared at Justin. "What's with the middle-class poster boy look?" He frowned slightly. "I don't know what you mean," he confessed. "The clothes,'" Amy said, gesturing. "Why are you dressed like that? Your folks get really heavy with you because of your arrest?'' "Arrest?" Justin looked completely astonished. "Me? Arrested?" He laughed. "You're pulling my leg, right? Amy, you crack me up. Arrested? Me!" He laughed. Stacy was getting the chills clean through to the bone. What was going on here? This looked like Justin-except for the clothes. It sounded like Justin-except he was polite. There was no way that this was Justin.
