A technology reporter enters the longevity business
Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever follows the journalist into the science, culture and commerce of extending human life. CNN identifies the early death of her father and her own serious health scare as personal starting points. Swisher approaches the subject both as a reporter and as someone willing to test the emerging technologies she investigates.
Produced by EverWonder Studio, the series brings Swisher's technology-industry reporting to a field shaped by Silicon Valley wealth. Its central question concerns the distance between credible research, extravagant promises and products sold to people frightened of ageing. The business of longevity becomes inseparable from questions about influence and access.
