Zero

Bryan Johnson

On his final day alive, Scribe convenes a reunion of his closest friends. Though they’d been separated since a harrowing climb on Mt. Kilimanjaro, Scribe hopes the gathering will inspire an actionable plan for humanity in the face of existential challenges. Through a series of conversations, debates, and negotiations, the participants develop a blueprint for the way forward. Writing as “Zero,” author Bryan Johnson is an entrepreneur and explorer of the new frontiers of being human. Johnson took stock of his health and realized that a decade of chronic depression and poor cognitive control earlier in life had affected every measure of his well-being. He decided it was time to fight back. In DON’T DIE, Johnson catalogs the social and philosophical strategies necessary for the fight, both individually and as a species. Johnson’s controversial ideas and methods have attracted both detractors and devoted followers around the globe.

DON'T DIE

In the late 21st century, a neurotechnology called Bridge has changed the world. Bridging allows a person to program their own body and mind to achieve untold enhancement. There was one problem: It only works in children. Within a single generation, a new world order developed. Bridged Children grew smarter, faster, and stronger than the Adults and demanded equal rights. The Adults fought back. During the ensuing war, Adams, a prodigy among the Children, hid in seclusion on the Nordic coast. But when a family secret pulls him into the public eye, Adams must unravel the details of a sinister, mind-bending plot of global domination before it is too late. Writing as “Zero,” author Bryan Johnson is an entrepreneur and explorer of new frontiers of human existence. Johnson has founded multiple companies: Blueprint (longevity), Kernel (neurotechnology), OS Fund (AI, computation, and biotechnology), and Braintree Venmo (payments). In We the People, Johnson explores what it means to program the body, the mind, and society, using the technologies of tomorrow.
