"Hacking Immortality: New Realities in the Quest to Live Forever" by Sputnik Futures offers a thought-provoking dive into the cutting-edge technologies and philosophies surrounding the quest for eternal life. The book's exploration of advancements in longevity and the ethical implications are captivating and well-researched. However, some readers may find that the complex subject matter could benefit from a more streamlined and accessible presentation. Additionally, a deeper exploration of certain ethical and societal considerations would enhance the overall impact of the book.

I was provided an advanced copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Very interesting ideas in this book, the studies that it cites could use some work with how small the sample sizes are. Definitely probes your mind into thinking about future possibilities so I would recommend this.

Interesting concept and I learned a few new things about living longer. I am not sure about some of the studies cited. For example there was a HIIT study saying that HIIT can increase longevity. The study sample was 36 men and 36 women so not a very robust group.

I am going to do some further research into a few of the concepts. I am curious about the Blue Zones and the Okinawa program, I am also going to get my blood work done and ask for more information about the four biomarkers that are discussed in the book. I also liked the idea that if you felt younger mentally (subjective age), you lived longer. I would like to look at those research studies as well.

Some of the future AI stuff was a bit out there for me but I liked the overall idea of this book. It was an informative (and eye opening) read.

Thank you to the publisher, the author and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I started reading this book, but gave up after 25%. I find the idea fascinating and like some of these books, like Ray Kurzweils "Singularity is near" which also explores the possibility of extending our life-span.

At its current stage, this book lacks at any coherent red-line. It jumps right into a lot of facts, figures and information without even the slightest attempt to a slow introduction and a story one could follow.

This book at its current stage looks more like a collection of notes the author took along with some illustrative material and a lot of (unnecessary) pictures, that still need to be sorted and rearranged into a coherent thought others can follow.

The information is great, but the readability is horrible at this stage. I will not share this review on Goodreads and appreciate that you gave me the opportunity to review on Netgalley and don't want to spoil the efforts, but as-is, it ain't going to be a bestseller..
