The Anti-Ageing Illusion: Why we have misunderstood ageing

By Kenneth Antoniadis and Holly Davis

Live longer? Yes. But please, with common sense.
This book clears up the promises, hype, and myths surrounding eternal life. Well-researched, understandable, and without speculation, it explains what modern aging research really knows: What are senolytics? What can reprogramming do? What are the benefits of fasting? And what is simply quackery in a lab coat?
Between cell biology, epigenetics, big tech, and biopolitics, this book tells the story of a revolution-but without romanticizing it. It shows how we can biologically influence aging, where the limits lie, and why the greatest illusion is to think of aging as a problem that can be defeated.
A call for enlightenment. An invitation to rethink. And a plea for better aging-instead of a supposedly endless life.
