Bör vi leva för evigt?
Kommer framtidens människor att övervinna döden? I dag pågår en revolution inom biologin när det gäller vår syn på livet och döden. Aldrig tidigare i historien har människan varit så nära att förstå hur livet skulle kunna pågå betydligt längre än vad det gör i dag. I denna bok utforskar Nobelpristagaren Venki Ramakrishnan jakten på odödlighet vid vetenskapens frontlinjer.
Inom en snar framtid kanske vi faktiskt kommer att kunna runda döden och leva betydligt längre än vad vi gör i dag. Men vad händer med en biologisk varelse som aldrig dör? Kan det vara så att vi faktiskt föredrar att dö fast vi kan hindra det? Därför dör vi är en djärv upptäcktsfärd genom vetenskapen om det biologiska livets slut av en av vår tids vetenskapliga portalfigurer.

Nobel Prize winner Venki Ramakrishnan tells the thrilling story of how scientists unlocked a new window onto how life works‘Beyond superb.’ Bill Bryson‘A wonderful book.’ Ian McEwanEveryone knows about DNA, the essence of our being, the molecule where our genes reside. But DNA by itself is useless without a machine to decode the genetic information it contains. The ribosome is that machine. Venki Ramakrishnan tells the story of the race to uncover its enormously complex structure, a fundamental breakthrough that resolves an ancient mystery of life itself.
