The revolutionary attack on death-worshipping religion, death-justifying philosophy, death-accepting science--and on death itself. "What we don't realize," says Harrington, "is that science has in recent years brought us very close to the death of death." He suggests a crash program to make immortality a reality. A serious, visionary book by a desperately earnest man. He has gone way, way out, but then so has the world in which we live. Since we are presently committed to some serious tinkering with that world we ought at least to considering tinkering at the level he suggests.
