'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

'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 civilisation - one that has the potential to improve billions of lives, save trillions of dollars, and transform the human condition.

Ageless
Увлекательная книга для любителей науки, но не ждите, что после её прочтения вы обучитесь предотвращению старения. Только в самом конце книги автор даёт несколько банальных советов из серии «не курить и заниматься спортом», чтобы немного продлить жизнь. В основном же, Стил погружает читателя в причины старения и объясняет, что избежать старения возможно, если научиться производить определённые манипуляции на клеточном уровне. Такие исследования, безусловно, многообещающие, но очень затратные, как в финансовом, так и во временном плане.
