Book description
It is forty years in the future and, following decades of research and
trillions of euros spent on genetics, Europe is finally in a position to
rejuvenate a human being. The first subjest chosen for treatment is Jeff
Baker, the father of the datasphere (whihc replaced the Internet) and
philanthropist extraordinaire. After 18 months in a German medical
facility , the 78-year-old patient returns home looking like a healthy
20-year-old. Misspent Youth follows the effect his reappearance has on
his friends and family - his young ex-model wife Sue, his teeenage son
Tim, and his long term pals, themselves all pensioners, who are starting
to resent what Jeff has become.
Peter F. Hamilton was born in Rutland in 1960, and still lives near
