X-Message-Number: 6200 Date: Tue, 14 May 1996 06:55:03 -0500 From: Jim Halperin <> Subject: FREE NOVEL with chapter about "The Cryonics Laws" References: <> Anyone interested in the human condition will enjoy "The Truth Machine,"--and right now you can read it for free! (Harvard's Howard Gardner & Yale's Robert Sternberg, two of America's foremost experts on intelligence and psychology, both wrote rave reviews of the book.) This novel examines the effect on society when a software genius invents a machine that can always tell whenever any person is lying. It also explores the delicate balance between rights of the individual versus the protection and well-being of society. The story takes place from 1991 to 2052, and cryonics (freezing BEFORE death) becomes legalized in the US in approx 2015, with laws & economic effects examined in detail. The book won't be in stores until October, but in the meantime Ivy Press has posted it on the Web; you can read the entire novel for FREE as long as you're willing to complete a questionaire every ten chapters or so. Check it out! I think you'll know right away whether or not it's worth your time to read the whole thing. <http://www.truthmachine.com/> P.S. I'm now working on a second novel, which is entirely about cryonics! Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=6200
