More about the book
Mia Ziemann, 93, may have the body and mind of a thirty year old, but she’s stuck with the secure but tedious existence of a rich old woman. In a world changed almost, but not quite beyond recognition by the unceasing march of technological progress, Mia isn’t unusual. But in Europe there is a movement away from the pragmatism of‘ most of those who have lived long and hard. In Prague, Mia confronts her boredom, her fear of entropy, and a whole new philosophy that challenges her very sense of self. Cover illustration by Holly Warburton
