Advancing Conversations is a line of interview books documenting conversations with artists, authors, philosophers, economists, scientists, and activists whose works are aimed at the future and at progress.

In 2005 a panel of scientists and doctors from MIT, Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, Microsoft, and the Venter Institute participated in a contest to judge whether de Greys Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence were worthy of debate and verification or whether these ideas were wrong on their face.
