My first book - The Future Loves You: How and Why We Should Abolish Death - makes the medical, scientific, and ethical case for how we can preserve the dying to enable their future revival.
Featuring details such as:
Why evolutionary trade-offs determine that a mouse should live for one year, while a whale can live over two hundred
What a clinical case of brain fusion implies about personal identity
How neuroscientists can use viruses and lasers to force the recall of specific memories (or erase them)
What is actually happening in a dying brain, on a minute-by-minute basis
How economists calculate whether someone’s life is worth saving
The most up-to-date techniques for preserving dying individuals, and grounded speculation on the means by which we might be able to restore them to health
'This is an optimistic book ... What makes it an extraordinarily interesting book are the four chapters on the nature of death, identity, consciousness and memory. They are richly informed and full of fascinating detail'
'Dear future, we love you too. This book elegantly handles the why and how of ending death, with engagingly described specific details and compelling responses to standard concerns about overpopulation, social stagnation, and unnaturalness. This thorough dive into the "why" truly primes us for the "how", which also delivers the goods'
- Professor George Church, Harvard Medical School
