In Rollback, technology allowing people to reverse aging now exists. A billionaire tries to roll back an old woman because she's the best bet to decipher a message from aliens, having cracked the first message 38 years earlier. It's a moderately engaging read. The conclusion, with cloned aliens being raised by human parents is more an interesting than a successful idea.
