Keanu Reeves he is getting old like all of us. And for this reason, mortality preoccupies him. “I’m 59, so I think about death all the time”the actor told BBC News.

Keanu Reeves is promoting his first novel, “The Book of Elsewhere”. The book is based on the comic book series ‘BRZRKR’, created by Reeves, and co-written with British science fiction author China Miéville.

It is noted that “BRZRKR” is set to be turned into a live-action film starring and produced by Reeves as well as an animated spinoff from Netflix.

This also contributed to Reeves’ focus on death. “Maybe I don’t understand the violence of the world. I don’t understand how we all know we’re going to die and kill each other over things that in retrospect aren’t that important.

Also, I wonder about the technology. I don’t know why we are in such a hurry to get off the planet and go digital. Maybe I wonder about love too. Why is death so strong and love so fragile and yet the most powerful force on the planet?’said, among other things, the actor.
