@2BOOK REVIEW
===========
@1
Have any of you read the following book
Great Mambo Chicken and Transhuman Condition.
A must for most science fiction readers. Its by Ed Regis. The title may put you
off.... Don't let it. It's fascinating.
Without giving to much away it looks at cryonics and how SF writers wanted and
manoeuvered science to accept the probability of immortality. The author has
done a lot of research and has known many of the infamous SF authors.
Surprisingly a large number of them belonged to L5 society wanting to be
cryonically frozen. Walt Disney eat your heart out!It's not heavy going the
author has presented a rather humourous approach to the subject whilst still
being scientifically correct.
A lot of the great SF authors books have been referenced with inside
information in some cases as to why the authors wrote a particular book.
