Extreme Longevity : Will We Become Immortal ?

di Léwis Verdun (Autore)

Five Minutes Editions, 2026

This mini book from the NOUVEAUX HORIZONS collection, published by Five Minutes, invites readers on a clear eyed exploration of today's quest for immortality. Drawing on more than twenty recent studies, it separates fact from fantasy : the natural human lifespan seems to plateau around 110 years ; innovations such as senolytics, rapamycin and epigenetic reprogramming show promise ; gene therapies and brain computer interfaces are advancing rapidly. Beyond biomedical feats, the book examines the emerging digital immortality industry - avatars of the deceased, the persistence of personal data - and warns of psychological and ethical pitfalls. The tone is accessible and evidence based but never hides uncertainties : most results still involve animal models, human trials are scarce, and inequitable access risks creating biological castes. Ultimately, the book reorients the debate : rather than dreaming of an eternal body, the real challenge is to extend healthy lifespan for as many people as possible by combining scientific progress with social justice.
