Ageless Nation: The Quest for Superlongevity and Physical PerfectionSome people understand the potential for technological advances to foster real social and personal change. Among them is Michael Zey, whose groundbreaking predictions about superlongevity -- humans living up to 150 years -- are detailed in Ageless Nation. Designer children, nanotechnology, and other advances, point the way toward a future where the aged live healthy and happy lives usually enjoyed by those decades younger. Zey focuses on the social effects of superlongevity -- with regard to careers, business, marriage, and children -- and how these shifts in daily life will ultimately be for the better. |
