A story about the boundaries we are willing to cross when the desire for immortality turns into business.
They take ice baths in barrels of freezing water, add adaptogens to their drinks and wear glasses with blue-light filters. They regularly analyse their blood, track their sleep quality with a smart ring, and experiment with breathing techniques, intermittent fasting and various diets. Biohackers test all kinds of approaches to optimising the body and extending life. But can we really have complete control over our life and body? Is it possible to slow down the ageing process, or even become immortal?
