You're looking for r/singularity if you're looking for living in the matrix with your robot wife while being immortal and on welfare. (r/longevity for a more grounded view on the curing aging thing.)

A beautiful dream, but futurology hasn't been like that for the past ten years, as extreme optimism shifted into realistic pessimism. Daily reminder even Kurzweil thinks a technological singularity would have around a 50% chance of being a net positive to human life, and he notes that people think of him as an "optimist."
