Résumé

Does your real age match the age you feel?When do we reach middle age?When, if ever, are we old?The way we age and the way we perceive age has changed radically. As we embrace new experiences, relationships and gadgets, we barely stop to look at our watches let alone consider whether our behaviour is 'age appropriate'. In this provocative and timely book, Catherine Mayer looks at the forces that created amortality - the term she coined to describe the phenomenon of living agelessly.
As she follows this social epidemic through generations and across continents, she reveals its profound impact on society, our careers, our families and ourselves. Why be defined by numbers?Are you amortal?

Catherine Mayer is the co-founder of the Women's Equality Party and Primadonna Festival. During more than three decades as a journalist and editor, most recently of TIME Europe, she covered politics and the royal family in depth and at first hand, securing unusual levels of access to leading figures including Prince Charles and the Queen. Her other books include Amortality: The Pleasures and Perils of Living Agelessly; Attack of the Fifty Foot Women: How Gender Equality Can Save the World! and the memoir, Good Grief: Embracing Life at a Time of Death, written with her mother.
After the death of her husband, the musician Andy Gill, she took on his unfinished projects, releasing two EPs by his band Gang of Four, and acting as executive producer for a tribute album, The Problem of Leisure: A celebration of Andy Gill and Gang of Four
