Ettinger 羅伯 艾丁格 著 with a new (2010) foreword by the author 內有新原作者前言(2010年) -- Sinclair T. Wang, Translator 王振祥，翻譯者 -- is available in hardback (ISBN 978-1-934297-00-1) and paperback (ISBN 978-1-934297-01-8) editions. 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." 在1960年代艾丁格創始了冰凍人 (冰凍休眠) 運動，並且著作了 永生的期盼一書 。 艾丁格洞見了 "歷史上的不連續， 一邊是會死和凡人 -另一 邊則是不死和超人。" 人類的冰凍休眠 （實驗性的長期活體休眠） 可能可以提供一道"進入盛夏之門"， 而且是一個不像任何前所熟悉之季節。 愛丁格爲他在 "我們世代中無窮盡生命可能性" 的信念進行了辯解。 KEYWORDS: biostasis; cryonics; death; future medicine; immortality; life extension; personal identity; suspended animation; technological singularity; transhumanism.
