Bloomsbury presents Ageless written and read by Andrew Steele.
'A stunner ... If you haven't got this book in your house, I don't know why' Chris Evans
'A startling wake-up call . . . Writing with the vim of a Bill Bryson and the technical knowledge of a scientist, Steele gives us a chance to grasp what's at stake' Independent
'An exhilarating journey . . . Steele is a superb guide' Telegraph
'A fascinating read with almost every page bursting with extraordinary facts . . . Read it now' Mail on Sunday
Ageless is a guide to the biggest issue we all face. Ageing – not cancer, not heart disease – is the world's leading cause of death and suffering. What would the world be like if we could cure it?
Living disease-free until the age of 100 is achievable within our lifetimes. In prose that is lucid and full of fascinating facts, Ageless introduces us to the cutting-edge research that is paving the way for this revolution. Computational biologist Andrew Steele explains what occurs biologically as we age, as well as practical ways we can slow down the process. He reveals how understanding the scientific implications of ageing could lead to the greatest discovery in the history of civilization – one that has the potential to improve billions of lives, save trillions of dollars, and transform the human condition.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"An absolute tour de force." (Aubrey de Grey, chief science officer, SENS Research Foundation)
"An immensely important book." (Professor Lewis Dartnell, author of Origins)
"This is an essential book for anyone interested in the fast-developing science of longevity." (Jim Mellon, chairman of Juvenescence)
Quite good narration given the author reads it by himself!
Is aging really an illness?

Helpful and worthwhile

The author is smart, witty and very structured. I personally enjoyed the narrative, the intellectual stimulus and the questions the author raised. Even for a newcomer to the field the majority of topics will become clear as they are thoroughly explained in a language that is fairly easy to grasp.
What is lacking is his personal research history (the whole book is basically a meta-analysis of existing research) and recommendations on living a longer life are pretty generic. No actionable groundbreaking insights on how to leave longer now, author states that most of the referenced research is in preliminary stages.
Puts ageing into proper perspective

The Author was the narrator, which while not bad could have been improved by a professional narrator. He spoke very fast at times and his annunciation sometimes suffered. Don't let that put you off the book. I've now listened to it twice and learnt as much the second time around. Enjoy 😁
