Humanity is on the cusp of an exciting longevity revolution. The first person to live to 150 years has probably already been born. What will your life look like when you live to be over 100? Will you be healthy? Will your marriage need a sunset clause? How long will you have to work? Will you finish one career at sixty-five only to go back to school to learn a new one? And then, will you be happily working for another sixty years? Maybe you'll be a parent to a newborn and a grandparent at the same time. Will the world become overpopulated? And how will living longer affect your finances, your family life, and your views on religion and the afterlife? In "100 Plus," futurist Sonia Arrison takes us on an eye-opening journey to the future at our doorsteps, where science and technology are beginning to radically change life as we know it. She introduces us to the people transforming our lives: the brilliant scientists and genius inventors and the billionaires who fund their work. The astonishing advances to extend our lives--and good health--are almost here. In the very near future fresh organs for transplants will be grown in laboratories, cloned stem cells will bring previously unstoppable diseases to their knees, and living past 100 will be the rule, not the exception. Sonia Arrison brings over a decade of experience researching and writing about cutting-edge advances in science and technology to "100 Plus," painting a vivid picture of a future that only recently seemed like science fiction, but now is very real. "100 Plus" is the first book to give readers a comprehensive understanding of how life-extending discoveries will change our social and economic worlds. This illuminating and indispensable text will help us navigate the thrilling journey of life beyond 100 years.

作者迴顧瞭一些生物科學前沿技術包括人造器官、延緩細胞衰老、癌癥治療等,然後展開活到120歲對社會的影響。到瞭社會影響那部分實在是太無聊瞭,閉著眼睛都能想到什麼貧富矛盾,傢庭結構,婚姻關係...
評分活過百歲~
評分圍繞的主題很明確,但是旁徵博引涉及的內容很多。作者說到底還是個技術樂觀者,其實想想看現在很多社會問題的根源,都可以看作是人萬年不變的固有生物屬性和飛速發展的社會産生瞭矛盾,既然是這樣,那麼改造自己以適應文明發展也並非不可接受,況且早就邁齣瞭第一步
