Interesting, thorough, and touches upon a diverse range of technological changes that affect and support the aging population.
As I was listening I wondered what how some of the predictions/observations about “post pandemic” life hold up.
As a person working in tech it definitely gave me food for thought.

Good overview for entrepreneurs who are interested in age tech. But the writing is really lacking - a lot of repetition.

Interesting topic, but I wish it was presented in a more engaging manner. The book also lacks any deep insights or moments of realizations. It can be a good starting point for an AgeTech entrepreneur to start their research.
