A darkly comedic journey into the science of aging—where ethics are irrelevant, the studies are a sales pitch, and the “world's oldest living people” all turn out to be dead.
Though Morbid spends much of its time challenging anti-aging myths, the book and its author nevertheless admit that the aging process remains a mystery ... Newman...doesn’t ultimately answer whether humans have a set age limit beyond which we cannot survive. He does suggest, however, that we’d better firm up our science to address it.
Intriguing, eccentric ... In an age of incessant online grifting and conspiracy theorist Robert F Kennedy as US secretary of health, Newman’s conclusions are refreshingly simple. Longevity 'science' is largely built on nonsense data.
