Peter Ward‘s new book The Price of Immortality The Race to Live Forever examines the quest for immortality by meeting “The Immortalists” and learning about their ideas and their methods; what’s working?

The prolongation of life has been desired by humans for thousands of years, going back to ancient religions and practices, coming forward through time to the alchemists of the Middle Ages, and now modern science.

The conversation examines the science, spiritual, and political/economic ethical questions involved with the quest for immortality, or even just for longer life.

Music by: Craig Chaquico & Russ Freeman, NRBQ, Chris Isaak, Jeff Buckley, Tulku, and Joe Jackson.
