The discussion of calorie restriction (CR) brought to mind a piece by NYmag reporter Julian Dibbell on his experience trying out CR for two months: http://nymag.com/news/features/23169/ http://nymag.com/news/features/23169/ On the sillier side, I recommend "Super Sad True Love Story" by Gary Shteyngart. It's an entertaining novel with themes of life extension and near-future dystopian technology. Anyone who liked the "please drink a verification can" greentext will probably enjoy it.
