Man into Superman

by Robert C.W. Ettinger

The author initiated the cryonics movement with an earlier book, The Prospect of Immortality. There are now several organizations freezing people after clinical death and storing them in liquid nitrogen to await rescue by future technology--revival, repair, rejuvenation, and improvement.

Dare we be different? Dare we not?

If we outgrow humanity (present style), what comes next?

You may not like the author's answers--but you will surely find them interesting at least. At most, they will help you and your family escape oblivion and fulfill your grandest dreams.

About the author

an American academic, known as "the father of cryonics" because of the impact of his 1962 book The Prospect of Immortality. He is considered by some a pioneer transhumanist on the basis of his 1972 book Man into Superman.

Ettinger founded the Cryonics Institute and the related Immortalist Society and until 2003 served as the groups' president. His body has been cryopreserved, like the bodies of his first and second wives, and his mother.

Very enlightening back in the 70's when I read it and some of the tech ideas have already begun.
