A novel that mixes fact with fiction in a way that in some ways
goes beyond conventional SF, but in other aspects is far too
conservative for what we may now realistically expect well before
the end of the 21st Century. A time is explored, several hundred
years from now, when the clones of cryonicists frozen in the early
21st Century are empowered to make decisions about when their
earlier twins are to be reanimated, and how this is to be done. The
world, by then, is expected to have gone through many challenges.
Aging has been "cured" and uploading minds into cybernetic forms is
as yet a very controversal idea. Most humans are still biological.
The world faces two cosmic disasters in a row. This story, as far
reaching as it might seem, is nonetheless tame as compared with
what we humans can actually expect over the next two or three
decades. Think of this book as one for "children" who are going to
have to "grow up" in a hurry as the Singularity of Ray Kurzweil
takes place. This novel is a soft and comfortable way to prepare
for the greater "future shock" which most humans will now appear to
have to endure, prior to the Mid-21st Century
