X-Message-Number: 31564 From: Dani Kollin <> Subject: Cryonics friendly book release Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2009 08:36:58 -0700 --Apple-Mail-1-15497687 format=flowed; delsp=yes It's been quite a few years since I've posted here but as you'll hopefully agree necessity is the mother of invention. My desire to publicize my upcoming pro-cryonics novel was the necessity and my old stomping grounds seemed a perfect segue-way to that invention. I'm honored to introduce a cryonics POSITIVE novel coming out from Tor called, The Unincorporated Man. I know for a fact it's a positive view, because along with my brother I've just spent the past 5 years writing it! It's possible I'll get flamed for so blatant a pitch but those of you who recognize my name and the many debates I've had on this posting will know that I rarely, if ever, use my words cheaply. This is a book written by 2 current cryonics members (CI), that will be published by the largest Science FIction (yes, I know it's a dirty word but I'll take that - if it means spreading that word far and wide) publishing house in the world, edited by one of the most respected editors in the business (3x Hugo award winner, David Hartwell). I say all this not only to toot my own horn (let's be honest) but to toot that of cryonics as well. While the novel is not cryonics-centric (the nature of liberty and freedom is) the theme of cryonics and the idiocy of society's "accept death" meme runs strongly through it. I thought you'd want to know. Thanks for your time, Dani Kollin P.S. I wish I could promise that I'll be back in the thick of the debate here but the vicissitudes of life have kept me a reader rather than a poster. With two more novels coming out (Tor bought 3) and three kids under 11 to deal with, I don't see life slowing down enough jump back into the fray. But I'll keep perusing. --Apple-Mail-1-15497687 Content-Type: text/html; [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=31564
