X-Message-Number: 9978 Date: Sat, 04 Jul 1998 17:35:40 -0500 From: Kevin R Spoering <> Subject: Arthur C. Clarke References: <> I read with interest the posts on CryoNet that science fiction authors Joe Haldeman and Frederick Pohl are not signed up for cryonics. Makes me wonder, does anyone know Arthur C. Clarke's opinion on cryonics. In his book, 3001: THE FINAL ODYSSEY, he writes of astronaut Frank Poole being reanimated, and mentions downloading and nanotechnology, very similar to stuff we are familiar with already. But he also writes in 3001 that immortality has not been achieved yet (but how could we ever know about that for sure, forever is a long time ). It would be a shame to lose him.
