Following scholarship on gender in science fiction, this book explores the limits of considering age as a social construction, positing that considering aged bodies changes the way we read both age and science fiction. It employs contemporary clinical psychology, the biopsychosocial model, to provide a method to consider age (and gender) as an embodied synthesis of physicality, psychology, and social environment. Visiting topics such as care work, sexuality, sport, and the military, the book demonstrates that acknowledging a more fully embodied age is not only necessary for the individual subject, but also enriches understanding of other social categories, including gender and race.
