Morbid

Morbid by Saul Justin Newman is a darkly comedic exploration of the science of aging and the industry of longevity. This social science study examines the misleading claims and systemic chicanery found within research on death and dying. Newman investigates a landscape where the world's oldest people are often frauds and decades of longevity research are rendered moot by scientific scandal.

The book blends research and methodology with a critical look at health and fitness trends, from blood tapping schemes to dubious anti-aging claims. Through mathematical evidence and evolutionary insights, Morbid addresses the mechanics of how humans age. This work of science provides a rigorous analysis of the mystery of mortality while exposing the absurdities and corruption hidden within the professional study of aging and longevity.
