This book discusses how our life stages will not be clear 3 stage life process; learning ,working and retirement as we have been used to in the past. As we live longer the 3rd stage will be far longer and full retirement will be less likely as we need more money and fulfilment for those additional years. They coin the term a multi-stage life where these stages
"... for the majority of people paid work will play a diminishing role in their life, despite the rise in 'unretirement'. With a significant increase in life expectancy, the transitional challenge they face is to be more forward-looking and be prepared to make more investment in their possible selves."
The role of technology calls to question, whether our roles will be the same or be made redundant all together. By using some examples of peoples lives they show what options there are either for re-training or adapting how we can work.
It is a very comprehensive and thought provoking look at how we live and work in the new longer living technology focused world. Useful for policy makers, futurists and those who are looking for a more fulfilling later life.
