It's twenty years since I read "The Bachman Books" but as a long-time hiker I've always had a soft spot for "The Long Walk".
And having recently bought a personal fitness GPS unit I've realised the technology is capable of supporting a real-life competition. Okay, the public (nor competitors) would stand being shot for failing, but all the reality shows we do have make it clear that audiences are quite happy with watching the struggles and failures as much as the successes of TV competitions.
So what do people think - is the world ready for a live-action Long Walk contest?
