# The Fixed Period

By Anthony Trollope.

"The Fixed Period" by Anthony Trollope is a satirical dystopian novel published in 1882. Set in 1980 on the fictional island Republic of Britannula, the story follows President Neverbend's controversial plan to enforce mandatory euthanasia at age 67. When his best friend becomes the first citizen to reach this "Fixed Period," Neverbend faces mounting resistance from family, citizens, and even foreign powers. This darkly ironic tale explores society's treatment of the elderly through increasingly desperate circumstances. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
