CONTENTS

T he question of how to grapple with the profoundly agonizing issue of death has animated human history. In religion and art, we rationalize that death can be liberating or glorious, but in real life, we do not rejoice when someone dies. On the contrary, we often fantasize about achieving eternal youth. Being alive and healthy is the greatest joy that exists, and there has never been a better time to be alive than today. But many people dont think we can predict how long we can enjoy this experience.

However, both of us feel that the best way to predict the future is to create it. Solving humanitys toughest problems is what drives us. We believe in the power of technology, together with a massively transformative purpose. But solving the problem of death itselfmost people think that is just crazy. Whether you are one of those people, or have already caught the longevity virus, The Science and Technology of Growing Young is going to open your mind to just how real and close at hand the possibility of defeating death really is!

Most other books on longevity look at this field through the lens of a technologist, a scientist, or a medical doctor. This is the first book written for a broad audience by an investor-author in touch with so many companies on the edge of longevity science. Through his Longevity Vision Fund, Sergey has unique access to hundreds of start-ups on the verge of the latest longevity breakthroughs. In this book, Sergey now shares this firsthand knowledge of these companies with you. This includes the personal stories of brilliant pioneers driving innovation forward, and those of the patients benefiting from these amazing new technologies. Each chapter reveals Sergeys knowledge and excitement. Each story will make you feel that truly anything is possible. Best of all, The Science and Technology of Growing Young is written in language that any reader can understand, regardless of profession or scientific background.

What will you gain from reading this book? First, you will discover some of the most exciting technological breakthroughs that are happening right now. You will have a courtside view of how engineers are enhancing who we are physically, biologically, and intellectually. You will understand what is being done to upgrade the outdated software of human aging. Finally, you will receive practical advice on how to optimize your habits for longevity. You already have the opportunity to add a decade or two to your life. Many of you will live to see 100 or 120 years of age. We are only a few decades away from longevity escape velocity, so once we make it through the next couple of decades, we will have the knowledge to overcome whatever problems we will encounter. Eventually, everyone will be able to achieve longevity escape velocity and defeat death altogether.
