The youth of the world have finally taken over in the futuristic SciFi adventure novel, LIFE IN 2050, by Jim Musgrave.

In Big Bro's dystopian world, citizens over 40 are given surgeries to see in black and white and to prepare them for early death.

The Young Socialist Libertarians took over after the old order was defeated in the World Revolution of 2028. The elderly were now seen as a hindrance to present peace and prosperity. They carry disease, are non-productive, and they are remembered for the past generations of wars, greed, and famine.
William must save his parents and family, who have been separated. This is a world, he discovers, where getting social security has become a reality show fight to the death, and prostitutes are "safe sex" androids. Who's behind Big Bro, and what will become of people of color and William's family? Read LIFE IN 2050.
Up ahead stood the tall skyscraper—the only one allowed—of the Young Socialists’ Ministry of Mindfulness. This was where William worked, and it was also broadcasting the libertarian message of the party, in ten-foot letters, running every ten seconds across the huge digital banner in front of the building:
WAR IS IN THE PAST
FREEDOM IS ALWAYS TODAY
IGNORANCE IS IN WRITTEN HISTORY
