This book describes my attempts to stay active while aging (I'm now 66), despite two premature hip replacements and a heart valve replacement due to a genetic defect. If you're "in your later years," like me, hopefully my story will inspire you to keep moving if you already are or get moving if you are not. I also give advice based on what I have learned over the years on physical and mental training as well as diet. I am an engineer and comfortable with scientific literature, and have tried to come up with a good solution to the problem of aging gracefully.

Technology is developing fast - so fast that it threatens to overwhelm the very species whose genius lies in its technological cunning: us. From the metaverse to genetic engineering and mood-altering pharmaceuticals, to cybersex and cyberwar and the widespread automation of work, new technologies are rewriting the terms of our existence, not in a neutral spirit of 'progress' but in line with the priorities of power and profit, and in ways that often work against the grain of our fundamental being.In this timely, provocative book, Richard King argues that we need to evolve a more critical attitude to new technologies if we are to avoid a world in which humans are no different in kind from algorithmic machines. The stakes could not be higher. As science, technology and capitalism fuse into a single system, and activists and entrepreneurs talk of a 'post-human' future in which individuals will transform themselves using powerful computers and biotechnologies, we are entering unchartered territory - a territory marked with the mapmaker's warning, Here Be Dragons ... Here Be Monsters.
