Is centenarian democratization our near future?

Have you ever wondered how does the digital age affect our longevity? What effect new technologies and knowledge advances have on our life?

Jean-Pierre Fillard’s newest book,

Longevity in the 2.0 World: Would Centenarians Become Commonplace?

provides an in-depth summary and analysis of the issues related to the growing life expectancy in the digital age. The technological advances and knowledge available easily in the 21st century underline the relevance of topics such as rejuvenation, juvenescence and aging reversal. Following the 20th and 21st century’s discoveries in medicine and recent technological developments, we have entered a new age. Genetics, Biology, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data are at the heart of today’s discussions centred around the longevity, where the increased life expectancy results from the changes in our way of living in a larger collective society.

This challenging and insightful book investigates the ideology and theory behind the longevity in the 21st century through questioning whether the current breakthroughs in science and technology mean that we all have a power to become centenarians, instead of only some individuals being favoured by the nature.

What does it mean for the future generations? How will it affect life expectancy within different societies? How do new learning ‘intelligent’ machines affect humans’ place and their longevity in the world? These newly raised issues are discussed in detail by Jean-Pierre Fillard in
