Does the age you feel match the age you are? Are you slowing down? Have you planned for your later-life needs? If you answer ?yes? to more than one of these questions, you are probably not amortal. But this book will tell you how amortals are reshaping your world. Amortality describes and analyses the revolution in the way we are ageing and how we think about age. Drawing together personal stories and the latest scientific research, this is the first-ever exploration of amortality: to the forces that created it and the unstoppable force it is becoming.
