| Annotation | Dystopia in which senior citizens are considered an unnecessary expense and disposable. Everyone is forced to retire at 65, and the Senior Laws are designed to ensure no one reaches old age. For example, under the Diminished Culpability Act, if you kill someone who is 70, you get two-years in prison; if you kill someone 80, you get two years community service. The African gods, upset at the lack of respect for elders, choose four seniors to fight back. |
