This unique work of fiction masterfully weaves philosophical thought with an intimate journey into the realities of aging and mortality.

As a philosopher at the brink of his eighth decade, Dr. Pemberton brings a wealth of wisdom, personal experiences, and eclectic pop culture references to his narrative, creating a resonant exploration of the universal human experience. Each chapter delves into a new facet of life's journey, from reflections on the paradox of aging, the portrayal of aging in media, our evolving perceptions of time, to the final frontier of death. The narrative is not just a contemplation of life's biggest questions, but a testament to the human spirit's quest for meaning and understanding. Whether you're an aspiring philosopher, a lover of thought-provoking fiction, or someone seeking a fresh perspective on aging and life's ultimate questions, "It's My First Time Getting Old (So Excuse Me If I Go Astray)" promises to leave you enriched and profoundly moved.
