The Prospect of ImmortalityIn the 1960s Robert Ettinger founded the cryonics (cryonic hibernation) movement and authored THE PROSPECT OF IMMORTALITY. (And in the 1970s Ettinger would help initiate the transhumanist revolution with his MAN INTO SUPERMAN.) Ettinger sees "discontinuity in history, with mortality and humanity on one side on the other immortality and transhumanity."

In the 1960s Robert Ettinger founded the cryonics (cryonic hibernation) movement and authored THE PROSPECT OF IMMORTALITY. (And in the 1970s Ettinger would help initiate the transhumanist revolution with his MAN INTO SUPERMAN.) Ettinger sees "discontinuity in history, with mortality and humanity on one side -- on the other immortality and transhumanity." P: ]] This 2005 edition (ISBN 0-9743472-3-X) contains an exact replica copy of the complete first edition of Ettinger's 1964 cultural classic, THE PROSPECT OF IMMORTALITY. (The Cultural Classics Series By Ria University Press is edited by Charles Tandy, Ph.D.) Additional (2005) materials include comments by others -- "Developments In Cryonics 1964-2005" -- written especially for this 21st century edition: (1) "The State of Cryonics -- 2005" (By Jim Yount); and, (2) "A Brief History of Cryonics" (By R. Michael Perry). A new (2005) Introduction by Charles Tandy is entitled "Ettinger's 1964 Thesis: Indefinitely Extended And Enhanced Life (Immortality) Is Probably Already Here Via Experimental Long-Term Suspended Animation" P: ]] James Bedford began his journey as "the first cryonaut" on January 12, 1967; as of 2005, he and many others remain in cryonic hibernation. According to Ettinger, cryonic hibernation (experimental long-term suspended animation) of humans may provide a "door into summer" unlike any season previously known. Such patients (individuals and families in cryonic hibernation) may yet experience the transhuman condition. Ettinger argues for his belief in "the possibility of limitless life for our generation." We should become aware of the incorrect, distorted, and oversimplified ideas presented in the popular media about cryonics. He believes that the cool logic and scientific evidence he presents should lead us to forget the horror movies and urban legends and embrace great expectations.

Surprised by what a great sweater this turned out to be!
Size: Large, Color: Navy
I purchased three of these, various colors. I'm 6'1" /160 lbs. (long and lean) and a large is a great fit without being too loose or bulky. Holds its shape nicely for about 5-6 wearings before it starts to stretch out—particularly the turtleneck. I totally ignored the washing instructions and machine-washed (front-loader) all three sweaters with other items in cold water, regular HE liquid detergent, rapid-spin dry, then dried them in the dryer on delicate, lowest temperature setting for 30 minutes. They came out 98% dry and perfectly re-shaped with no shrinkage. The sweater is supple and soft, and warm and comfortable to about 60°F, after which it's a little warm (for me.) I cannot think of any reason to not purchase one: great fit, great look, great comfort, great price.

Love this Sweater!
Size: Medium, Color: Black
Had my doubts, but this sweater is great! The color is great, follow the care instructions, and this sweater will not let you down. Feels great, fits great, no shrinkage, and looks excellent. Does it pill? Yes, expect it, but I also bought the BEAUTURAL Fabric Shaver and Lint Remover, Sweater Defuzzer with 2-Speeds. And it works beautifully not only on this sweater when needed, but also on my winter beanies and other clothes, which now look like new. My advice then. Buy the de-piller and buy this Sweater. I have purchased six, and I love these sweaters, especially now that I know how to best care for and keep them like new.

SEXY BLACK TURTLENECK SWEATER!
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This is soft, looks amazing on my husband who is a big guy (6’2” @245) so not everything fits all the time. Sleeves are long enough, and the sweater looks great on him. Soft material, nice collar rate 10/10. Will try and get a nice pic of him in it!

Nice economy casual sweater,
Size: Large, Color: Off-white
The sweater is fine for the price, with correct fit. Arrived fast. Nice neutral cream/oatmeal color. It has a fairly loose open weave and is predominantly cotton, so it’s quite breathable and well suited for layering in cool but not truly cold weather. The knit is a little coarse, not really scratchy but not very soft. It’s a good value for what they charge. And fine for casual wear. But I ultimately decided to return it and spend a lot more to get a merino wool sweater because they are dressier, much warmer for weight, MUCH softer, and less bulky under a jacket. I like to wear mock turtlenecks under a sport coat in the fall and this sweater was a little too thick for that.
