Did it have romance or more pure science fiction

[Peter]

Don't remember any romance. Certainly not a central theme.

[Peter]

Memory is a bit hazy, but I think in the last wakening, mankind has discovered the secret of rejuvenation.

Oh, I think this I know this! It sounds like The Man Who Awoke by Laurence Manning. It definitely had dream machines and the last story was about about men being able to rejuvenate themselves.

I don't remember any romance at all.
