How Far Would You Go to Stay Alive?

This is the story of America’s zaniest presidential candidate - who wants to turn the whole population into cyborgs.
It's a true story… stranger than fiction.
“Don’t stand there!”
Zoltan almost stepped on a landmine. He was in Vietnam, reporting for National Geographic.
If his guide hadn’t warned him--he’d be dead.
Zoltan didn’t want to die. Who does?
But Zoltan realized something else just then. He didn’t want to die ever… In fact, he didn’t want anyone to die ever again.
It’s an idea he’s been pushing now for years. He’s a leader in the “transhumanism” movement, which wants to merge humans with machines.
Zoltan drove a bus shaped like a coffin across the US, to teach people about the new frontiers of science that mean death is not inevitable.
His presidential campaigns have attracted global attention...
Imagine there were no diseases, because science had cured them all. Imagine storing your mind in a computer… Living longer than you ever expected--for hundreds of years.
This is the extraordinary story of Zoltan’s war on death.

Review from Forbes: Can Transhumanism Rescue The West From The Threat Of AI? ~ Forbes, https://www.forbes.com/sites/traceyfollows/2024/03/29/can-transhumanism-rescue-the-west-from-the-threat-of-ai/?sh=6ab403a92e49
There are only a few people in the world who are experts on how futurist issues and libertarian philosophy collide. Dr. Ben Murnane is one of them. His personal journey--battling a rare genetic illness, Fanconi anemia, and low life expectancy--also gives him a unique and urgent perspective on life-extension and transhumanist issues. After introducing transhumanism to hundreds of millions of people through my writings and political campaigns, I was looking for a biographer to objectively capture how my activism has upended the status quo of the futurist world. Dr. Murnane was the perfect fit to objectively write this story for the first time. ~ Zoltan Istvan
