Nick Spencer speaks with Director of the Institute of Technology and Humanity and the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, Stephen Cave

Once upon a time, it was religions that promised eternal life. Now its science, with the possibility of immortality - whether bionic, cellular, genetic, or virtual - being the subject of big Silicon Valley dollars.

In this week's episode, Nick Spencer speaks to Stephen Cave about his book Should You Choose to Live Forever?
