Hacking Immortality answers all your burning questions, including:
-Can humans cheat death?
-What is your grim age?
-Will 100 be the new 40?
-Will we become software?
As reality suddenly catches up to science fiction, Hacking Immortality gives the truth on the state of humanity?and all its possible futures.
