The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging presents the role of mitochondrial processes as the source of free radicals as a primary cause of biological aging. It is the published version of de Grey's PhD dissertation, and does an excellent job of presenting de Grey's theories on aging.
Endless Ageing: to what end?: If worn-out human parts can be replaced and a person can live to be 300 to 400 years, won't only the very rich be able to afford this technology? What economic chaos there would be if everybody could get a life extension. We're running out of Social Security monies now, jobs are being exported daily.

One of the "plaudits" on the back of the dust jacket, astonishingly enough, says "this man could be put in jail with reasonable cause."

de Grey does an excellent job with both, but I feel misses entirely the social and political impact of his goals.
