Do you want to live longer? Regardless of your answer, you most likely will have to. This is another inevitable consequence of the triumph of science and technology that we are experiencing today. But where will this unprecedented progress lead us? If people live 100 or 120 years, how many of them will they be able (or forced) to work? Are there enough jobs for everyone? And how to live not only long, but also happily? One thing is clear: there are deep concerns associated with the contradiction between industrial development and the benefits of a long life. Unprecedented technological progress has not been accompanied by the necessary innovations and changes in social structures. Therefore, in this constantly changing world, we still have not discovered new ways to live. Andrew Scott and Linda Gratton answer the question “How will longevity change our lives and our society?” Drawing on research in economics and psychology, they offer their own vision of the tools needed to solve the upcoming challenges of creating a new social order. Using fictional characters from different age and social groups as examples, they describe the actions and steps that each of us must take to adapt to a long life. Any of us today can become the creator of our own biography of a new type!
