Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"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.
