From the wiki:
In 2025, the world's economy is in shambles and America has become a totalitarian dystopia. 28-year-old Ben Richards, an impoverished resident of the fictional Co-Op City, is unable to find work, having been blacklisted from his trade. His gravely ill daughter Cathy needs medicine, and his wife Sheila has resorted to prostitution to bring in money for the family. In desperation, Richards turns to the Games Network, a government-operated television station that runs violent game shows. After rigorous physical and mental testing, Richards is selected to appear on The Running Man, the Network's most popular, lucrative, and dangerous program.


Still seems the long walk is bein made , wich is by far one of the most painfull horrible books in regard of the subgenre.And if im not wrong was the first novel and basics for the whole sub genre

from wiki:
In a dystopian America, a major source of entertainment is the Long Walk, in which one hundred teenage boys walk without rest. If they fall below a pace of four miles per hour, they receive three warnings and are subsequently shot by a group of soldiers on an accompanying half-track. The last boy left walking receives a large sum of money and a "Prize" of their choice.

the book is brutal for a 1979 book , with no compromises and a must read
I'm going to read the book, didn't know there was a difference. Thanks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
