From award-winning journalist, Camilla Cavendish, comes a profound analysis of one of the biggest challenges facing the population today.

The world is undergoing a dramatic demographic shift. By 2020, for the first time in history, the number of people aged 65 and over will outnumber children aged five and under. But our systems are lagging woefully behind this brand-new reality. In Extra Time, Camilla Cavendish embarks on the journey to comprehend how different countries are responding to these unprecedented challenges.

Travelling around the world in a carefully investigated and deeply human investigation, Cavendish contests many of the taboos around ageing. Interviewing leading scientists about breakthroughs that could soon transform the quality and degree of lifestyle, she sparks a argument about how exactly governments, businesses, doctors, the press and each one of us should deal with the second half of lifestyle. She argues that if we have a even more positive approach, we have to be able to reap the benefits of a prolonged lifestyle. But that will mean changing our attitudes and

using technology, community, even anti-ageing pills, to effect a result of a revolution.
