Seventy-Five

In a world where every citizen is legally required to die at the age of seventy-five, growing old has become a crime. George has spent his life believing in faith, family and the value of wisdom. Now, just weeks before his seventy-fifth birthday, his own son—a high-ranking official in the ruthless New Order government—delivers the poison kit that will end his father's life. As society celebrates efficiency over humanity, the elderly are disposed of for economic gain, while their knowledge dies with them. But George's quiet, courageous daughter Ella harbours a dangerous secret. Beneath the regime's carefully controlled world lies an underground civilisation where those condemned to death are rescued instead of killed. Risking her own life, she becomes part of a growing Resistance determined to preserve humanity's greatest resource: the wisdom of its elders. As George escapes into this hidden world, a battle unfolds between compassion and tyranny, truth and propaganda, family loyalty and betrayal. Meanwhile, the government develops increasingly sophisticated surveillance and artificial intelligence to hunt those who dare to defy the system. Blending dystopian suspense with philosophical depth, Seventy-Five explores the devastating cost of a society that values productivity over people. It asks a timeless question: What happens when a civilisation discards the very generation that holds its memory, experience and wisdom? Inspired by real historical patterns of authoritarianism, propaganda and social engineering, this thought-provoking novel combines fiction with themes rooted in history, creating a chilling vision of a future that feels unsettlingly possible.
