Longevitize!: Essays on the Science, Philosophy & Politics of Longevity

by Franco Cortese (Editor/Co-Author)

Containing 160+ essays from over 40 contributors, this edited volume of essays on the science, philosophy and politics of longevity considers the grand but real project of ending aging from a variety of viewpoints: scientific, technological, philosophical, pragmatic, artistic. In it you will find not only information on the ways in which science and medicine are bringing about the potential to reverse the effects of aging within many of our own lifetimes, as well as the ways that you can increase your own longevity today while waiting for tomorrow’s promise, but also a glimpse at the art, philosophy and politics of longevity as well – areas that will become increasingly important as we realize that advocacy, lobbying and activism can play as large a part in the hastening of progress in indefinite human lifespans as science and technology can.

[Zoltan Istvan]

This is an excellent and powerful collection of essays on the science, philosophy, and politics of longevity. Franco Cortese has done a great job assembling and organizing this book to enable the reader to get the most out of the all-important topic of longevity.

As a co-author of this important work, I made it mandatory for myself in reading its entirety, coming out of it all the more determined in helping combat our greatest foe: Death! An excellent book that demands wide availability to the entire world.
