Critics Review
An entertaining and meaningful read – Claudia Goldin
Essential reading for anyone curious enough to ask where we are heading as a human race — and that’s all of us. Packed full of mind-blowing facts that you will be quoting to friends, this is a wise, compassionate and non-judgmental story of our times, told with empathy and real understanding – Emily Maitlis

Generation Maybe is vital reading for anyone worried about whether we can avoid a dire future of gerontocratic stagnation – Robert Peston
