Toward a Theory of Immortality
A free Russian-language book examines immortality through thermodynamics, information theory, evolution, demography, and identity.
Field notes
The book is organized as a linked web text rather than a single undifferentiated manuscript: a full-text search, live section references, a methodological introduction, and a shorter twelve-chapter edition provide several reading routes. Its scope runs from chemical limits on repair and the cost of memory to germ lines, rejuvenation, demographic arithmetic, and whether identity survives a change of carrier. The page identifies revision 32, a CC BY 4.0 license, a DOI, and an eleven-item register of unresolved questions.
