The first few chapters were somewhat dull and felt disconnected from the book's main thesis. However, the later chapters were much more compelling. I appreciated the exploration of the snake oil business related to eternal youth and the role of Silicon Valley tech entrepreneurs funding immortality research. The discussion on the ecological and accessibility gap regarding the affordability of youth treatments across different social classes was also insightful.

Tedious and slightly disorganized in parts, but a good overview of the science of ageing and the latest research in the area.

Interesting topic - a bit too in the weeds on the science for me. I particularly liked the last chapter of whether or not we should stop aging, even if we could.

Very Interesting to see whole history evolve. Quite educational as well. But definitely a hard one if your basic knowledge of chemistry and biology is GCSE (I had to look up and learn a lot to understand some moments). But overall very scientific with a good balance of philosophy.

It’s a bit dry.
Nothing really new if you’re familiar with gerontology/longevity - rapamycin, metformin, NAD/NMN, CR, fasting etc
