The Prospect of Immortality (Hardcover)
by Robert C. W. Ettinger, R. Michael Perry (Contributor), Charles Tandy (Editor)
This 2005 edition contains an exact replica copy of the complete first edition of Robert Ettinger's 1964 cultural classic, The Prospect of Immortality. Additional materials include three original (2005) paper contributions: (1) "Ettinger's 1964 Thesis: Indefinitely Extended And Enhanced Life (Immortality) Is Probably Already Here Via Experimental Long-Term Suspended Animation" (By Charles Tandy); (2) "The State of Cryonics -- 2005" (By Jim Yount); and, (3) "A Brief History of Cryonics" (By R. Michael Perry). (Note: 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.

Man Into Superman: The Startling Potential of Human Evolution -- And How to Be Part of It (Hardcover)
by R. C. W. Ettinger, Nick Bostrom (Contributor), Charles Tandy (Editor)
In the 1960s Ettinger founded the cryonics (cryonic hibernation) movement and authored The Prospect of Immortality. In the 1970s Ettinger helped 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."
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 and transhumanism. Ettinger 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.
This 2005 edition contains an exact replica copy of the complete first edition of Ettinger's 1972 cultural classic, Man into Superman. Additional (2005) materials include comments by others -- "Developments In Transhumanism 1972-2005" -- written especially for this 21st century edition. For example, Dr. Nick Bostrom, a professional philosopher at the University of Oxford (UK) and a founder of the World Transhumanist Association, provides us with "A Short History of Transhumanist Thought."

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We dont have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The musics for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The musics played by the madmen
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why dont they stay young
Its so hard to get old without a cause
I dont want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldnt happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true
(Gold/1982)
