It was Diana Brackley who put the milk out for the cat; who dropped a speck of lichen in it by mistake; who noticed how the lichen stopped the milk turning.

But it was Francis Saxover, the famous biochemist, who carried on from there; who developed Antigerone, the cure for ageing; who then tried to suppress a discovery which was certainly in the megaton range.

Shnedwards' review: Hmmmm. Not much Sci in this Fi, it's more of a satire on various social groups' reactions to the discovery rather than a good yarn about disastrous consequences à la Day of the Triffids.
