Description: Aging is not only reserved for humans. Similarly, how humans age is often a process in which other-than-humans - be it other species or technology - become entangled or carved out. The contributions to this edited volume open a conversation about how aging is always a hybrid, more-than-human process.

Review Quotes: "A fascinating collection that moves, breaks down, and redefines the boundary lines between the aging humans and a dense world of more-than-human agents. Equally provocative and playful, this collection embraces fresh concepts and methodologies that propel our capacity to imagine worlds of aging and care that extend and entangle with others. A unique and groundbreaking book that deserves to be read widely across aging studies, and will no doubt animate many discussions and debates for years to come."--Jason Danely "author of Fragile Resonance: Caring for Older Family Members in Japan and England"
