How to Live Forever and Get Rich Doing It
As researchers work to make death optional, investors see a chance for huge returns. But has the human body already reached its limits?

Operating at the fringes of science, biohackers are trying to extend the human life span by decadesāor perhaps indefinitely.
Peter Diamandis is five feet four and has pipestem legs, but his torso widens into broad shoulders, powerful biceps, and a craggy, Homeric head. The composite effect is of a genie emerging from a lamp. Our wish is his command, and our wish, surely, must be for more time to make wishes: for limitless life. In December, Diamandis stood before two hundred doctors and scientists and vowed that in the coming decade our wish would begin to come true: āItās either a hardware problem or a software problemāand weāre going to be able to fix that!ā
Diamandis was at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, north of San Francisco, to address the Roundtable of Longevity Clinics. He wore his customary outfit: black sneakers, black jeans, and a black T-shirt. Having one look and one messageāLife just gets more abundant!āspares him decision fatigue. An ebullient spirit whose confidence is tempered, at times, by his reverence for data, he acknowledged that the task was immense. āWe have forty trillion cells in our body, and every cell is running one to two billion chemical reactions per second,ā he said. āItās not possible for any human to understand this. We are linear thinkers in an exponential world.ā Yet with robots soon able to run a million experiments a day, and with A.I. poised to parse our cellular code, how long could immortality take?
He observed that his clients at Fountain Life, a longevity clinic he established, were already on their way to freedom from disease. Theyād have early access to emergent tech, such as a blood filter that can āfilter out metastatic cancerā and a transmitter that uses high-frequency waves to diagnose strokes and zap depression: āRemission in a week with ten-minutes-per-day therapy!ā
Diamandis, who is sixty-four, has a bachelorās in molecular genetics and a masterās in aerospace engineering from M.I.T., as well as a medical degree from Harvard. But heās not a practicing doctor, engineer, or scientist. Heās an emissary from the realms of possibility. After growing up on Long Island in a family of Greek immigrants, he began making his dent in the universe by founding some two dozen businesses, many of which involved voyaging to space. As a young entrepreneur, he formulated Peterās Laws, which included āIf you canāt win, change the rulesā and āWhen forced to compromise, ask for more.ā
He promotes the inevitability of longevity through a multitude of channels. Thereās the clinic, which he started with two doctors and the motivational speaker Tony Robbins. Thereās a newsletter, two podcasts, and books on the future and how to stick around for it. There are partnerships in venture funds devoted to A.I. and biotech; an annual conference, Abundance360, which showcases advances in nanotechnology and brain-computer interfaces; and a semi-annual Platinum Trip, where, for seventy thousand dollars apiece, people get to meet eminent longevity scientists, invest in their experimental therapies, and secure those therapies for personal use.
