Yesterday on my daily walk I listened to the latest episode of the Cryonics Underground podcast. This episode discussing recommended books for cryonicists is also available as a video on the YouTube channel The Cryosphere. I was also pleased to see that they have a Discord channel.
One of the books recommended by a panelist on the podcast is The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology by Ray Kurzweil. This was a neat coincidence because I had just I pre-ordered the
sequel The Singularity Is Nearer before I listened to the podcast. Back when the now defunct Dallas Area Transhumanist Association (DATA) was still meeting, we discussed this book thoroughly and watched many YouTube video presentations by this author.
