X-Message-Number: 15907 From: "john grigg" <> Subject: "the Spike" by Damien Broderick is must-buy book! Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 08:38:08 I have recently gotten my own hardcover copy of "the Spike" by Damien and I am EXTREMELY impressed by it. His intelligence and sense of humor really shines throughout, making it a very fun read. I always wanted a book which covered in detail the many fascinating topics we discuss here and on other cryonics/transhumanist lists and I now have it. The original version of this book came out in Australia in 1996 but sadly did not make it to the United States. Alot of technological progress has occurred since then. But, not to worry, Damien has greatly updated and rewritten the book to keep well abreast of things. I hope literally EVERYONE on this list purchases a copy of the book. Both because it is an excellent read and as a show of loyalty to a gifted writer among us. sincerely, John _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=15907
