Keanu Reeves is aging like the rest of us. And for that reason, “The Matrix” has shared, mortality has been on his mind. “I’m 59, so I’m thinking about death all the time,” Reeves told BBC News. “I’m young old.” Reeves is promoting his first novel, “The Book of Elsewhere.” The book is based on the “BRZRKR” comic book series created by Reeves and written in collaboration with British science fiction author China Miéville. The plot of the new novel is centered on B, an immortal warrior with a death wish. This has also contributed to Reeves’ focus on death, which, he said, he’s trying to keep in perspective.
