However, it may be faster and easier to order from www.iUniverse.com - ??? The book first came out about in 1986. What I find interesting is how many things it predicts that eventually do happen in the cryonics movement after the book was written and are still happening and other good things that appear that will happen. I hope it is accurate to the end (which is a new beginning). After 1986 it was rewritten with help from Mike Perry and also Steve Harris and came available from iUniverse and Amazon several months ago. When it first came out in 1986 I predicted that it would take more than a century to become popular. This is what was printed on the back of the 1986 version: "Ralph's Journey is bound to evolve into a universal classic. Unfortunately and sadly, this will not happen until the Twenty-Second Century, when most of you will not be around." In retrospect, logically, this does not make sense for how can the person who is not going to be around read this when it becomes popular and everyone is reading it? Anyhow, this is not on the present version and I hope everyone is around then and long after that. There is a website under Ralph's Journey, BIG thanks to John DeRivaz and also Mike Perry. Thank you for your interest. If you get a copy and if you find the website, I would appreciate any comments you might have.
