In a desperate attempt to stay young forever we have achieved eternal childishness, rather than eternal youth. Childhood was once restricted to a life stage that passed all too quickly but Neverland 2.0 now makes childhood available to everyone as a permanent lifestyle choice, but at what cost to our communities and to the planet? A new book, ‘Leaving Neverland’ (Why Little Boys Shouldn’t Run Big Corporations) weighs up the costs, delightfully skewers perpetual boys and offers Rites of Passage as a timely way we can all leave Neverland. For our sake, ffs (for our futures sake) it is time to leave. Behind every preventable threat to the future of the human race stands a boy in a man’s body with both of his hands in the cookie jar set aside for future generations.
