Have we the power to create 'super people'? If we can do it, should we do it? Hot House People looks at the evidence, the case-histories, the 'human experiments', and examines efforts in many parts of the world to maximize the potential of children, and to increase life-expectancy. There is a growing determination to produce the best, the brightest -- and the oldest.

First Sentence
"The idea of 'hot housing' -- enhancing the mental and physical faculties of 'average people' -- is familiar to any reader of science fiction. It now appears that recent developments in a range of fields (such as education and biogenetics) may soon combine to turn fantasies into possibilities."
