Drawing on 20 in-depth case studies, the book examines the factors behind varying degrees of digital engagement among Baby Boomers, challenging long-standing assumptions about ageing and technology. Accessible and evidence-based, it offers new insights into the relationship between later life, technological change, and social transformation. The book will appeal to the gerontechnology community, while also engaging researchers, students, and general readers interested in ageing, technology, and social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeslie Haddon\u003c\/strong\u003e is visiting fellow and guest lecturer in the Department of Media and Communications at London School of Economics, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 August 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032409416\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55562821992588,"sku":"9783032409416","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032409416.jpg?v=1788356257","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032409416","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
