{"product_id":"immortality","title":"Immortality","description":"\u003cp\u003eWho wants to live forever? According to Stephen Cave, we all do - every single one of us. Eluding the Grim Reaper is humanity's oldest and most pervasive wish, embedded in our very nature. A desire for eternal life provides the dynamism behind every aspect of human civilisation: science, agriculture, architecture, religion, the arts, fame and family. From freeing your soul to freezing your brain, all these attempts to defy death fall into four categories - the four paths to immortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRanging across continents and cultures, from ancient Egypt to cutting-edge laboratories, Immortality raises the curtain on what compels us humans to persevere. The four paths are ancient, but science is now showing us - for the first time in human history -whether any of them can really lead to infinity. Cave investigates what it would mean for our lives if they can - but also if they can't. If the paths up the Mount of the Immortals lead nowhere -if there is no getting to the summit - is there still reason to live? Can civilisation endure the knowledge that its quest for immortality is futile?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStephen Cave holds a PhD in philosophy from the University of Cambridge and, before turning to full-time writing, worked as a diplomat. He writes regularly for the Financial Times and has also contributed to the New York Times, The Guardian, Wired and others. \u003cbr\u003e\n Dimensions:0 x 200  \u003cbr\u003e\n Author: Stephen Cave \u003cbr\u003e\n ISBN: 9781849544931 \u003cbr\u003e\n Format: Paperback \u003cbr\u003e\n Pages 340\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44219302576281,"sku":"3RF9781849544931","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/ac297faf6d955d68dad47dd944ae6e0a.jpg?v=1713774081","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/immortality","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
