What We Are Reading Today: Ageless by Andrew Steele

Ageless is a startling chronicle by a brilliant young scientist that takes us onto the frontiers of the science of aging.

Author Andrew Steele reveals “how close we are to an astonishing extension of our life spans and a vastly improved quality of life in our later years,” says a review in goodreads.com.

Steele is a scientist, writer and campaigner based in London.

After a PhD in physics from the University of Oxford, Andrew decided that aging was the single most important scientific challenge of our time, and switched fields to computational biology.  

In precise and sometimes dense detail he lays out the means by which science could effectively eliminate human aging. 

Annie Murphy Paul commented in his review for The New York Times: “The question of what it means to age — and what it would mean not to — goes entirely unaddressed in Ageless, a book that is technically impressive but morally and emotionally shallow.”

Paul is the author of the forthcoming The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain.
