I see that it's on libgen.info, so I'll give it a look.

I just finished it.

I guess it is a short book, but man! You don't kid around.

As shown in the book, the aging thing can in very narrow circumstances be a feature not a bug, but when I daydream about using a secret HTC to amaze everyone with my productivity and learning speed, the daydream includes some means of not aging faster than everyone else. (This makes me think of some sort of SF Dorian Gray.)

Gwern probably has a better version of the HTC that allows you to spend 365 hours to each hour of realtime.
