Science is developing at an even faster pace, and people are living longer and longer. With what methods has humanity over time fought against aging and death, and what methods will be used in the future?

Tiina Raevaara’s book weaves together the beginnings of scientific history, vampire stories, as well as the discoveries of stem cell treatment and gene editing. It dives into the cryotank and asks whether the vision of a lengthy life is still worth pursuing. If humanity accepted that they are part of all things organic – both living and dead – could we finally get rid of all the exhaustion, anxiety and need to rush?

Tiina Raevaara is an award-winning author with a PhD in Genetics. She has long been interested in humanity’s relationship with life’s passing.

Hallie Schaeffer, Flatiron Books, USA: “This award-winning nonfiction book brings together philosophy, biology, and memoir to explore human attempts to find immortality across science, art, and history.”

This is what Annette Beger from Kommode Verlag says about Raevaara:
“A Short Story of Eternal Life has been constantly on my mind. I am certain that this topic will become increasingly relevant. We are only just beginning to learn about the things that could or should prolong our lives through science and technology. I like Tiina Raevaara’s objective style. Without a “third voice”. Just me interacting with the content. Loved it.”
