<p>A new e-book of collected essays from the longevity science advocacy community is available, an effort organized by the folk at the <a href=http://centerfortranshumanity.com/>Center for Transhumanity</a>:</p>

<blockquote><i>Containing more than 160 essays from over 40 contributors, this edited volume of essays on the science, philosophy and politics of longevity considers the project of ending aging and abolishing involuntary death-by-disease from a variety of viewpoints: scientific, technological, philosophical, pragmatic, artistic. In it you will find not only information on the ways in which science and medicine are bringing about the <a href=https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2013/03/why-prioritize-sens-research-for-human-longevity.php>potential to reverse aging and defeat death</a> within many of our own lifetimes, as well as the ways that you can increase your own longevity today in order to be there for tomorrow's promise, but also a glimpse at the art, philosophy and politics of longevity as well - areas that will become increasingly important as we realize that advocacy, lobbying and activism can play as large a part in the hastening of progress in indefinite lifespans as science and technology.
