Lightning Guides' Immortality: Live Forever or Die Trying explores an historical obsession with eternal life. Featuring tales of chronicled figures (like Ponce de Leon and his supposed search for the Fountain of Youth, and Henrietta Lacks and her undying genes) and material phenomena (from ambrosia of the Greek Gods to cryonics and virtual immortality), Immortality presents a lust for perpetual youth alongside the human desire to live forever.
