Hundreds of people recently gathered in Montenegro for two months to form a pop-up community called Zuzalu. Their aim was to discuss biotechnological solutions designed to slow down human ageing and live longer. These longevity enthusiasts are even planning to create their own state to achieve this.

Is Zuzalu just another example of the elite's obsession with eternal youth? For two months, from March to May, hundreds of hand-picked people – mainly biotech entrepreneurs, cryptocurrency investors and scientific researchers – flocked to Zuzalu, on Montenegro's Adriatic coast. But you won't find this town on any map – it doesn't exist.
