What if we could slow down the process of ageing - or even stop it?
Andrew Steele is a scientist, writer and campaigner. After a PhD in physics from the University of Oxford, he decided that ageing was the single most important scientific challenge of our time and switched fields to computational biology. He has worked at the Francis Crick Institute, using machine learning to decode our DNA. He lives in London.
Steele is a superb guide to the wilder fringes of real medicine . .
. He understands that ageing is an experience to be lived
meaningfully and fully, as well as a fascinating medical problem to
be solved. His vision is very tightly controlled . . . I heartily
recommend Ageless. It's modest in scope, and generous in detail.
It's an honest and optimistic contribution * Telegraph *
Ambitious and energetic . . . Give[s] a startling round-up of the
biological factors that make us age and the emerging techniques to
tackle them . . . 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 in this dazzling, daunting age where big data
meets human biology * Independent *
What if we had a cure for getting old? A bold young scientist
argues that medicine and technology will stop bodily decay . . .
Fascinating * The Times *
Ageless employs a scientific vocabulary - autophagy, amyloids,
adducts and countless other specialised terms abound. But the book
is nevertheless accessible, its style chatty and engaging . . .
This is an enthralling book . . . Ageless is a rich and exciting
exploration of that surprisingly intriguing topic we'd rather not
talk about: old age * Irish Times *
A fascinating read with almost every page bursting with
extraordinary facts . . . Steele is not a crank or a snake-oil
salesman. He's not a 'wellness' YouTuber. He doesn't work for Goop.
He's a biologist . . . We can take what he says seriously * Mail on
Sunday *
There are some incredible revelations in this book. The science is
fascinating . . . What Steele says is both revolutionary and
important - life-changing in the true sense of the word. His
thinking is bold, visionary, utopian * The Herald *
A fascinating book delivering an education into the ageing process
and an insight into the possibilities of the future -- Tim
Lovejoy
Ageless is an outstanding, totally accessible exposition of why
ageing can and should be understood as a medical problem, and of
how the world's leading medical researchers are solving it. An
absolute tour de force, it will surely save many lives by inspiring
new recruits to join this crusade -- Aubrey de Grey, Chief Science
Officer, SENS Research Foundation
An immensely important book. Steele surveys the biology of human
ageing, as well as the cutting-edge research on how to prevent it.
The first person to achieve immortality may already have been born.
Is it you?! -- 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
Ageless is a fascinating, stimulating and pleasingly practical
guide to the science of ageing and how we might be able to bend the
arrow of biological time to improve our health -- Kat Arney, author
of 'Rebel Cell: Cancer, Evolution and the Science of Life'
Few issues can be more important for our future than ensuring we
age as well as possible. Ageless explains the extraordinary
achievements and promise of current scientific research around
longevity. Read it and prepare to think differently about your
future -- Andrew Scott, Professor of Economics, London Business
School and co-author of 'The 100-Year Life'
In his book Ageless, Andrew Steele describes how the field of
ageing biology moved from hope to promise. This is a masterful
roadmap for interested lay people, scientists at large and also
geroscientists like myself - I was surprised how much I learned --
Nir Barzilai, founding director of the Institute for Aging Research
at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University
A fascinating look at how scientists are working to help doctors
treat not just one disease at a time, but the ageing process
itself, helping us all to lead longer, healthier lives -- Sanjay
Gupta, Associate Chief of the Neurosurgery Service at Grady
Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, Associate Professor of
Neurosurgery at the Emory University School of Medicine and Chief
Medical Correspondent for CNN
A rigorous yet enjoyably readable, spellbinding tale -- George
Church, Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School
