This is an incredible book. The subtitle is to be taken literally. In the book, Kurzweil and Grossman will bring you up to speed on modern technologies that are increasing human lifespans.

And we're not talking about being 80 years old forever. 40 is the new 30. Soon 50 will be the new 30, etc. Just like with computer chips, the rate of progress in health and medicine is blindingly quick... so that in the near future, we'll all be 30 years old forever.

And if you are over 30 already, you'll want to stick around for the 30-50 years it will take to get to the point we can reverse aging. So the authors will correct your thinking on what a healthy diet should be and share what you can do to ensure you live long enough to take part in the health and medicine revolution.

Kurzweil himself takes something like 250 pills a day. He doesn't suggest you go as extreme as him, but you can meet him half way, or 1% of the way, and still live a healthier life.

If you want to truly understand the human body and how aging and human health works - science - pick up this book.
