Editorial: The Heart Beats On – Mar/Apr 2024
A decade ago, if someone were to tell us that anti-aging technology would be the next frontier for Silicon Valley’s tech magnates, we would laugh and ridicule them for being ballistic. The year was 2014 and modern-day technologies were still in their pre-teen stage.
Today, the spread of AI-powered LLMs and Machine Learning models has allowed us to take robust quantities of meaningless data and give them some meaning. Autonomous taxis are now a reality. New treatments for chronic diseases are allowing our population to live better. The world is more digitally connected than ever.

With a shift in dialogue, what you hold in your hands today is a magazine that is answering questions that are only imagined by few.
Have we been wrong about aging all along? Is there a future where humans live for over 100 years on average? What would the world look like if we could live for longer than we think?
