Death is simply their next problem to solve, an expression of a hubris that regards humans as appliances to be fixed and machines to be upgraded. By harnessing technology to cure ageing, and funding cutting-edge and often controversial research, today s immortalists are locked in an arms race to pocket the profits of longevity.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat was once a wild west of experimentation has wormed its way into Washington s corridors of power. Award-winning broadcaster and academic Aleks Krotoski journeys from cult fringes to the heartlands of government to meet the moguls, effective altruists, geroscientists and entrepreneurs who are disrupting death. Along the way she encounters radical life extensionists transfusing their teenage son s blood, transhumanists who want to upload consciousness to the cloud, biohackers flogging AI-powered wellness apps and billionaire kingmakers building brand-new nations.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis razor-sharp investigation asks: do we really want a handful of Silicon Valley powerbrokers to be the architects of our forever?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Entertaining and insightful' Financial Times\u003cbr\u003e\n'Brilliant' Miranda Sawyer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847928511\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.3 x 7.3 x 0.4 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodley Head","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50752705134896,"sku":"Prakash_9781847928511","price":800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71h6qYfMzWL.jpg?v=1770713655","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/the-immortalists-the-death-of-death-and-the-race-for-eternal-life","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
