We’re delighted to announce that The Book Publicist is working with Lucy Standing, Martin Hyde and Maggi Evans on the campaign for Age Against The Machine, published by De Gruyter Brill.

The working world sees age as a problem. This book shows it’s an asset.

Age Against The Machine lifts the veil on retirement, workplace ageism and a system that serves neither employee nor employer. It challenges the outdated “education–work–retire” model and makes a powerful case for longer, non-linear, quilted careers.

With research showing brain power peaking later than we once thought, and with people living and working well into their 70s, 80s and beyond, this is a vital and urgent conversation.

Crowd-written with input from the Brave Starts community of 2,000+ professionals, this is both a rallying cry and a practical guide for anyone who refuses to be sidelined.

We’re thrilled to be supporting this important campaign and with interviews already snapped up in week 1 by BBC 5 Live, City AM and The Independent, I think this is going to be a popular book. Get in touch with Esther Harris or Rhian Pearson for a review copy.
