Big Tech and the quest for eternal youth – Audio Long Reads

Who wants to live forever?

By Jenny Kleeman and Emma Haslett

The anti-ageing industry is bankrolled by some of the wealthiest people on Earth, including Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel. Are the scientists it employs close to a cure? And if they are, who wants to live forever anyway?

In this podcast, Emma Haslett reads Jenny Kleeman’s feature, which was first published in October 2021.
