Subject: Ev Cooper's "Immortality: Physically, Scientifically, Now" (1962) online!

Long overdue, Depressed Metabolism has made available online Ev
Cooper's "Immortality: Physically, Scientifically, Now" (1962), the
first major treatise on what would later become known as cryonics.
Ev's book not only discusses the use of cold to preserve patients in
the hope of future resuscitation, a substantial part of his manuscript
is devoted to reviewing different scientific means to achieve
"physical immortality". The author also anticipates a lot of other
"futurist" topics like synthetic biology, transhumanism, mind
uploading and the singularity:
