The Immortalist: An Approach to the Engineering of Man's Divinity
About this book
"It is time to kill death." Alan Harrington "THE IMMORTALIST is remarkably bold, ingenious, profoundly and intentionally shocking, utterly diabolical ... Harrington has hold of something absolutely central in human existence." Book World "I'm obliged to report with a certain awe and dismay that Mr. Harrington may have written the most important book of our time. The book is splendid and the attacks on it will be bitter, but he is right, and if the human race proves not to be suicidal—a moot point—he will have been one of the first new cartographers." Gore Vidal "What we don't seem to realize, says Harrington, is that science has in recent years brought us very close to the death of death ... He suggests a crash program to make immortality a reality ... A serious, visionary book by a desperately earnest man. He has gone way, way out, but then so has the world in which we live. Since we are presently committed to some serious tinkering with that world we ought at least to consider tinkering at the level he suggests." Harper's Magazine
