Overview

'As the ancients knew, age is not something that can be outpaced. Lost in the illusory promise of a future without wrinkles, we forget that just as Ptolemy wrote, every stage of life in fact transports us to new worlds.' - Angela Saini. From cutting-edge science of why we age to the ancient myths of Britain's older giantesses, this expansive, uplifting anthology invites us to rethink the shape of our lives, and our approach to ageing. Featuring new writing from twelve great writers including Angela Saini, Travis Alabanza, Sharon Blackie and Venki Ramakrishnan, this is a positive and radical vision of a future where we can all age better, throughout our lives.
