Forget 'great,' presidential hopeful Zoltan Istvan wants to make America immortal

A square-jawed Presidential candidate with an embedded RFID microchip in his hand which opens doors for him, riding around the United States in a coffin-shaped vehicle called the "Immortality Bus," sounds like a scene out of a David Foster Wallace novel. That he wants you (yes, you!) to live forever. "The number one platform that we have at the transhumanist party and in my campaign is trying to overcome death with science and technology," Istvan told Digital Trends. "That is the central premise I've been running my campaign on." Like Donald Trump, 43-year-old Istvan is funding his own campaign.
