Key Takeaway: Aging is not caused by free-radical damage or mutations in DNA.
Key Takeaway: Aging is the loss of analog biological information.
CHAPTER 2: The Demented Pianist
Key Takeaway: Aging occurs when the epigenetic signalers that respond to cellular damage are overworked.
Key Takeaway: Aging can be slowed down and reversed by activating sirtuins.
CHAPTER 3: The Blind Epidemic

CHAPTER 5: A Better Pill to Swallow
Key Takeaway: Compounds that inhibit mTOR, activate AMPK, and increase NAD levels boost health and longevity.
CHAPTER 6: Big Steps Ahead
Key Takeaway: Drugs and vaccines that target zombie cells show potential to prolong vitality.
Key Takeaway: Yamanaka factors can reset the epigenome and reverse cellular age.
CHAPTER 7: The Age of Innovation
Key Takeaway: Genome sequencing is revolutionizing the future of medicine.
Key Takeaway: Biotrackers are key to optimizing health and boosting longevity.
PART III: WHERE WE’RE GOING (THE FUTURE)
CHAPTER 8: The Shape of Things to Come
Key Takeaway: The transition to longer lives will worsen environmental degradation.
Key Takeaway: Longer lifespan will mean less social progress and less social security.
Key Takeaway: Mankind will renovate in response to a growing population and make the world an even better place.
