By the end of this century  living beyond 100 will be the rule rather than the exception. What
medical breakthroughs and new technologies will make this possible?In this brilliantly
wide-ranging  one-stop guide WIRED journalist James Temperton outlines the medical revolutions
that are transforming healthcare. He looks at the burgeoning immune therapies that could one

ranging from depression to autism. And he addresses the fundamental question: could medical
technology become so sophisticated that we witness the end of ageing?
