Longevity Revolution

Theodore Roszak Β· 2001
75/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Theodore Roszak brings genuine intellectual range and moral seriousness to the argument that an aging majority could reshape civilization toward something more humane β€” this is cultural criticism at its best, not a self-help checklist. The 2001 expanded edition added new chapters and updated statistics, and the prose is accessible enough for engaged general readers rather than just academics. Some of Roszak's Boomer-influence projections have been tested by reality and may feel optimistic in hindsight, but the counter-ageism argument remains as relevant as ever.
