Lillibet Rowse: The Memory Travellers, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The year is 2042. The average life expectancy is now 128. The segregation and warehousing of seniors in Assisted Living and Memory care communities has not existed for over a decade. This community model had phased out as it was recognized to be the exact antithesis of the way our society was meant to function. The aging population was not dispensable. No more ageism. It had been recognized and corrected. Everyone, at any age, continues to be involved with their families and contributing to their communities. Add this phenomenon to accelerated advances in medicine where most diseases have a cure: Cancer, HIV, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Alzheimer's Disease. Even with these advances, there remained seventeen people with a predisposition for Alzheimer's Disease and did not have the opportunity for the cure. That is what this story is about. It's about them, their relationships, their memories, what matters most in life, the future of aging and time travel.
