Big 100

Discover the thought-provoking insights of journalist William J. Kole in his latest book, Big 100, published by Diversion Books in 2023. This engaging hardback, spanning 304 pages, delves into the fascinating era of super-aging, where lifespans are extending dramatically, and the number of centenarians is projected to soar eightfold by 2050. Kole, a newly minted member of AARP, takes readers on a journey through the past, present, and future, examining life at pivotal ages—50, 65, 80, and beyond 100. What does it mean for society when reaching 65 is just the beginning of a longer life? Big 100 invites you to reflect on the implications of these changes and challenges our perceptions of aging. Join Kole in exploring what the future holds for us all in this enlightening social sciences exploration.
