"With its clear, precise, and parsimonious narrative style, the manuscript considers a range of arguments to prove that death is a natural evil and that life is worth living.....The author is clearly familiar with several discourses including transhumanism, aging and radical life extension, human enhancement, biomedicine, happiness studies, bioethics, population studies, and environmental studies...The manuscript is not about how to prolong life by means of technoscience, but about how to think correctly about death. For the author the proper attitude toward death is one of rebellion and outrage." - Hava Tirosh-Samuelson, Irving and Miriam Lowe Professor of Modern Judaism, Arizona State University
"Linden provides a comprehensive (mostly philosophical) case that life is worth living and living as long as possible. The book’s significant contribution is in the comprehensiveness of the case and the detail in which he unpacks the various arguments. - Calvin Mercer, Ph.D., Professor of Religion, East Carolina University
