Essay
I am interested in books like this because they stretch the planning horizon of ordinary life. Health stops being only maintenance and starts becoming part of long-term design. That shift fits me. I like ideas that make the future feel more actionable.
I was less interested in any fantasy of immortality than in the simpler idea underneath it: aging and decline should be treated as serious problems worth working on. That connects cleanly to Future Orientation and even Mortality, because caring about time also means caring about the quality and length of the years where life is still fully usable.
