Jonathan Weiner comments on why he didn't talk more about cryonics in this 
Reason interview: http://reason.org/news/show/live-forever-or-die-trying

Reason: You don't talk about one of the more colorful parts of the larger 
immortality movement"cryonics, or freezing dead bodies in hope they can be 
revived by future medical science. Why not?


Weiner: Cryonics was of no appeal to me personally and it doesn't appeal to most

people I talk with and most people I know. I chose not to go into it because I 
don't see it being all that important for our society, and it's not Aubrey's 
main focus, it's not gerontology's main focus.
