Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the 1960s Robert Ettinger founded the cryonics (cryonic hibernation) movement and authored THE PROSPECT OF IMMORTALITY. (And in the 1970s Ettinger would help initiate the transhumanist revolution with his MAN INTO SUPERMAN.) Ettinger sees 'discontinuity in history, with mortality and humanity on one side -- on the other immortality and transhumanity.' [[P: ]] This 2005 edition (ISBN 0-9743472-3-X) contains an exact replica copy of the complete first edition of Ettinger's 1964 cultural classic, THE PROSPECT OF IMMORTALITY. (The Cultural Classics Series By Ria University Press is edited by Charles Tandy, Ph.D.) Additional (2005) materials include comments by others -- 'Developments In Cryonics 1964-2005' -- written especially for this 21st century edition: (1) 'The State of Cryonics -- 2005' (By Jim Yount); and, (2) 'A Brief History of Cryonics' (By R. Michael Perry). A new (2005) Introduction by Charles Tandy is entitled 'Ettinger's 1964 Thesis: Indefinitely Extended And Enhanced Life (Immortality) Is Probably Already Here Via Experimental Long-Term Suspended Animation' [[P: ]] James Bedford began his journey as 'the first cryonaut' on January 12, 1967; as of 2005, he and many others remain in cryonic hibernation. According to Ettinger, cryonic hibernation (experimental long-term suspended animation) of humans may provide a 'door into summer' unlike any season previously known. Such patients (individuals and families in cryonic hibernation) may yet experience the transhuman condition. Ettinger argues for his belief in 'the possibility of limitless life for our generation.' We should become aware of the incorrect, distorted, and oversimplified ideas presented in the popular media about cryonics. He believes that the cool logic and scientific evidence he presents should lead us to forget the horror movies and urban legends and embrace great expectations. …
