Synopsis
The promise of a longer life has captivated humans for centuries. But promises of life extension have long reeked of snake oil and despite wishful thinking, most people regard it as an impossible dream. In The Youth Pill, science writer David Stipp explores the history of 'slow aging', which has been plagued by fits and starts that led to dead ends, not to mention countless disillusioning hoaxes. But, as Stipp shows, scientists may now be much closer to a solution than people think.

Review
'The recent headway made in anti-ageing is exhilarating (and a little unsettling) in its implications. What Stipp shows is that the pursuit of endless youth is anything but a futile pipe dream; it is no longer a Wildean fantasy, but an imminent reality.' - --The Financial Times
