Eternal Youth from Young Blood?

Demographics shifts wealth and power to the old. Youth gets student debt, unpaid internships, crazy property prices and now the prospect of getting the life squeezed out of them – drop by drop – to keep a population of ageing vampires young.

“I can imagine surgeons coordinating surgery together or mathematicians visualizing the solution to a problem together. Or musicians and artists with a new way of working creatively.”

Technology Wagging the Dog

Technology is happy to take us with it,  towards its womb – an obscure grey cloud sparkling with nano-bots and AIs – as long as we don’t dare touch the reigns!

Technology is the phenotype. We are the cellular machinery encoding its genome.
