The scientific breakthroughs powering humanity’s quest to defy death are closer than people think, posits former Oracle exec Tom Hogan, who explores the dark side of chasing immortality in his book The Forever Factor, with co-author Amanda Iles.
In the fictional thriller, The Forever Factor, Hogan and Iles draw upon extensive research with top scientists in the field of genetic manipulation and their own experience in venture capital and the inner workings of Silicon Valley startups. His Facebook page states, “The Forever Factor isn’t purely fiction. Longevity research is one of today’s hottest fields, with billions being invested in extending human lifespan.”
“What begins as a showcase of biohacking breakthroughs quickly spirals into something much darker,” Hogan said. “A secretive group of Silicon Valley legends are experimenting on their own bodies to cheat death. Their motto? Live forever — or die trying.”
According to Hogan, this book offers a realistic glimpse into the startup culture that shapes the world. The fast-paced tale asks: Should anyone be allowed to master immortality — or does the pursuit threaten the very future of humanity?
