<P>This title offers a gripping account of the Russian visionaries who are pursuing human immortality. As long as we have known death, we have dreamed of life without end. This book explores the contemporary Russian communities of visionaries and utopians who are pressing at the very limits of the human. It profiles a diverse cast of characters, from the owners of a small cryonics outfit to scientists inaugurating the field of biogerontology, from grassroots neurotech enthusiasts to believers in the Cosmist ideas of the Russian Orthodox thinker Nikolai Fedorov. It puts their debates and polemics in the context of a long history of immortalist thought in Russia, with global implications for Silicon Valley and beyond. Questions such as <Q>If aging is a curable disease, do we have a moral obligation to end the suffering it causes? </Q> are considered. This volume is a fascinating account of techno-scientific and religious futurism—and the ways in which it hopes to transform our very being.</P>
