Product description

Review

The future is a fairly scary place, but there is no better guide to it than Jenny Kleeman. By turns alarming, funny, thought-provoking and fascinating, this is a book that brilliantly shows us where much of our life (and death) is heading. -- Stig Abell

A moreish page-turner of a book that will leave you feeling informed and ready for the next dinner party. ― Herald

A fascinating book . . . It was so absolutely absorbing. I really, really loved this book. -- Jane Garvey ― BBC Radio 4

Kleeman’s entertaining survey of the latest advances in life sciences . . . a little like Louis Theroux
channelling Margaret Atwood. She is an accomplished storyteller

-- Johanna Thomas-Corr ― New Statesman

Mesmerising ― Daily Mail

Fascinating . . . an epic exercise in concision – all four of these sprawling chapters could have run to books on their own, and at times I wish they had -- Eleanor Halls ― Daily Telegraph

Thoughtful scepticism makes Kleeman a savvy guide, and her fresh insights into, for example, disruptive technology’s gender dimension, underpin provocative takes on progress and human nature itself. Thoroughly absorbing ― Observer

A pleasingly sceptical investigation into the innovations that could change the way we eat, have sex
and die . . . compelling and thoughtful

-- Fiona Sturges ― Guardian

A fascinating examination of what the future holds . . . you will never look at a chicken
nugget in quite the same way again

-- Elizabeth Day, author How to Fail

A tour of the lurid fringes of the tech world . . . Kleeman is an acerbic guide, whose understated common sense contrasts with the grandiosity of her interviewees. ― The Times

Thoughtful and diverting . . . Even if it doesn’t have the answers, this elegantly written and eye-
opening book poses the right questions

-- Ed Cumming ― inews.co.uk

From the Back Cover

‘A fascinating examination of what the future holds, and of what it means to be human. Jenny Kleeman writes with wit and a wealth of knowledge that ensures you will never look at a chicken nugget in quite the same way again.’
Elizabeth Day, author of How to Fail and The Party

‘The future is a fairly scary place, but there is no better guide to it than Jenny Kleeman. By turns alarming, funny, thought-provoking and fascinating, this is a book that brilliantly shows us where much of our life (and death) is heading.’ Stig Abell

‘An unforgettable journey into the near future by a fabulously gifted writer’ Will Storr, author of Selfie

    I didn't think I was going to enjoy this book much and I enjoyed it a lot less than that. It's not particularly well written or researched and the subjects interviewed can best be described as deluded eccentrics.

    This book is a non fiction eye opener about the advances of our technology in regards to sex, meat, birth and death. I found myself pausing often during this book to find out more about a specific part and couldn’t believe that it was actually real. The author does a good job of giving information and of course her opinion. A very interesting read.
