Longevitize!: Essays on the Science, Philosophy & Politics of Longevity<\/a> <\/i>is <\/i>a new and (literally) vital compilation, edited by Franco Cortese, which assembles perhaps the widest array of resources on radical life extension in one location. You can read a detailed description of the book here<\/a>. Cortese\u2019s ambitious projects have breathed new life into the transhumanist and immortalist movements, and Longevitize <\/i>promises to be perhaps his most influential contribution to date, illustrating a thorough grasp of the current state of the efforts to defeat senescence and enable humankind to transcend its primordial limitations.<\/p>\n

In addition to 164 articles representing diverse perspectives about the scientific, philosophical, and political aspects and implications of indefinite life extension, this compendium includes an immensity of links to external resources, including books, articles, and videos. I am proud that my Resources on Indefinite Life Extension (RILE)<\/a> page formed the crux of the book\u2019s Appendix II. Longevitize <\/i>permits the reader to delve as deeply as can be desired into studying the feasibility, desirability, and possibilities for implementation of the defeat of senescence and involuntary death.<\/p>\n

I am proud to have contributed 27 essays to this anthology, spanning 9 years of my thinking and writing on the prospect of indefinite longevity. In addition, the excellent cover was designed by my wife Wendy Stolyarov, incorporating Maxim Vorobiev\u2019s 1842 painting, \u201cOak fractured by a lightning bolt. Allegory on wife’s death.<\/a>\u201d Death destroys our irreplaceable individual universes much like that lightning destroyed the tree. It is time to put an end to this travesty, and Longevitize <\/i>offers an amazing toolkit and intellectual foundation for doing so. Buy this book, read it, and use it in your further intellectual explorations \u2013 including your writing, research, argumentation, and activism.<\/p>\n

Right now, Longevitize! <\/em>is available as an e-book for $9.99, both in PDF and MOBI formats, from Amazon. A hard-copy version is currently being prepared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
