Longevity, gene editing, cybernetics, and the rest of the technology that changes what a human being is. Every article carries what the evidence supports, how far along it actually is, and who thinks it will not work.

The biology of growing old, the interventions aimed at slowing or reversing it, and the argument over how much of the lifespan ceiling is real.
Reading, editing, and writing genomes — from base editors and prime editors to synthetic chromosomes and the line at heritable change.
Machines wired into nervous systems: brain–computer interfaces, implants, prosthetics, and the bandwidth problem that limits all of them.
Emulation, uploading, and identity — what it would take to run a person on different hardware, and whether the result would be them.
Deliberately exceeding typical human capacity — cognitive, physical, sensory — and the therapy line that keeps refusing to stay put.
Gametes, embryos, and gestation: artificial wombs, in vitro gametogenesis, embryo selection, and inheritance made editable.
Growing, printing, and replacing the parts that wear out — organs, tissue, limbs, blood — and why vascularization is still the wall.
Intervention at molecular scale: DNA origami devices, steered microrobots, and the long distance between design studies and machines.
Bodies off Earth: radiation, microgravity, torpor, and the choice between terraforming the world and re-engineering the traveller.
Who gets access, who decides, and what happens to institutions built on the assumption that people age and die on schedule.
The researchers, philosophers, and subcultures who built these ideas — and the arguments they have with each other.
The labs, companies, foundations, and prizes putting capital behind the field — and what they have shipped so far.
The cross-cutting ideas — singularity, posthuman, readiness, precaution — that every other article eventually leans on.
The study of humanity's possible long-run trajectories, conventionally grouped into extinction, recurrent collapse, plateau, and posthuman transformation.
The hypothetical threshold at which medicine adds remaining life expectancy faster than time subtracts it, making death by aging recede indefinitely.
A bacterial defence system repurposed as a programmable DNA-cutting tool, in which a short guide RNA directs the Cas9 enzyme to a chosen sequence in almost any genome.
A system that measures nervous-system activity, decodes an intention or state from it, and converts that decoded signal into a command for an external device.
A proposed procedure for reproducing a particular mind by scanning one brain's structure in detail, building a computational model from the scan, and running it.
The deliberate use of biomedical or technical means to extend human capacities beyond what is needed to restore or maintain ordinary health.
How the corpus distributes across time horizons. Everything past the present is an attributed claim about when a technology could matter at scale — not a prediction by this site.
Every article is graded on how much of it is demonstrated. Roughly 10% of the corpus is explicitly marked speculative.
Set a rate of mortality improvement and watch remaining life expectancy diverge — or fail to.
Gompertz mortality curves, and what shifting slope versus intercept actually buys.
A transparent, deliberately humble version of what commercial aging clocks claim to do.
Put any two technologies side by side on readiness, evidence, and horizon.
