Converging advances in AI, biotechnology, nanotechnology and regenerative medicine may challenge the inevitability of biological aging.

In brief: The book invites readers to question whether aging should remain beyond the scope of medicine.

The goal: transform radical life extension from speculation into science

About the book

José Cordeiro and David Wood survey technologies that may radically extend life and argue that aging could become an engineering problem.

The book presents an ambitious forecast; timelines and outcomes remain debated and uncertain.

Understand aging

Treat cellular damage and biological decline as mechanisms to investigate.

A known mechanism can be targeted.

Breakthroughs emerge at intersections.

Reach escape velocity

Extend healthy life fast enough for future therapies to arrive.

Time becomes the strategic variable.

Share the future

Address access, population, identity and the ethics of radical extension.
