Is it true that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? You might not think of yourself as ‘old’, but the truth is it’s no fun feeling left behind by the modern world. Take comfort: you are not alone, as this hilarious book affirms.

From chatbots to the metaverse, cold callers to charity chuggers, there seem to be so many more confusing terms and frustrations now. You can’t buy a straight coffee anymore; and buying ‘a ticket’ for anything involves a degree in computer science and a QR code (whatever that is) – it’s no wonder we yearn for simpler times.

So, lay down your laptop, kiss your mouse adieu and enjoy the funnier side of life with this hilarious – but at times horribly accurate – book, which brings together a whole host of anecdotes, quotes, quips and true stories about the vagaries of life in the modern world.

Harry Dixon is a writer and editor who collects anecdotes, quips, jokes and stories about the ageing process in all its quirks. He lives in London with his ageing partner and two ageing cats.
