HERE IS MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOOK (ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN ENGLISH IN 1964): In the 1960s Ettinger founded the cryonics (cryonic hibernation) movement and authored The Prospect of Immortality. Ettinger sees "discontinuity in history, with mortality and humanity on one side -- on the other immortality and transhumanity." Cryonic hibernation (experimental long-term suspended animation) of humans may provide a "door into summer" unlike any season previously known. Ettinger argues for his belief in "the possibility of limitless life for our generation." ?1960??????????? (????) ??,????? ??????? ? ?????? "???????, ???????? -?? ?????????" ???????
