Description
A gripping introduction to Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga, Misspent Youth is set in the near-future, over three hundred years before Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained. In 2040, humanity has finally achieved rejuvenation through decades of research. Renowned inventor and philanthropist Jeff Baker, now seventy-eight years old, is granted the gift of eternal youth. Initially, rejuvenation feels like a miracle, but as time passes, personal relationships begin to break down and the world waits for more brilliant new work from him. The cost of living forever becomes apparent, and Jeff must confront whether he can pay the price. This thought-provoking novel explores the consequences of playing with the fundamental nature of human existence, handled with Hamilton's characteristic ease in tackling massive ideas.
