So which of the avenues freshly laid down by biohackers and paved with venture capital will be our route out of death? Digital doppelgängers, caloric restriction, CRISPR-designed pig organs, stem-cell injections, brain preservation? And what, for that matter, does it all mean for humanity?
With The Forever Show, Enders aims to pull back the curtain on life-or-death technology, meeting the people behind it. Working with radio journalist Joe Richman as mentor, she mixes approachable science reporting while also exploring the newest—sometimes miraculous, sometimes dark and dubious—longevity startups. A decade of reporting on science, health, and the environment informs Enders’s exploration of these technologies, the people developing it, and those waiting eagerly to receive it.
