Samenvatting:

Live longer? Yes. But please, with common sense. This book clears up the promises, hype, and myths surrounding eternal life. Well-researched, understandable, and without speculation, it explains what modern aging research really knows: What are senolytics? What can reprogramming do? What are the benefits of fasting? And what is simply quackery in a lab coat? Between cell biology, epigenetics, big tech, and biopolitics, this book tells the story of a revolution-but without romanticizing it. It shows how we can biologically influence aging, where the limits lie, and why the greatest illusion is to think of aging as a problem that can be defeated. A call for enlightenment. An invitation to rethink. And a plea for better aging-instead of a supposedly endless life. Bremen University Press has published over 4,800 specialist books in various languages since 2005.
