The immortalization commission : science and the strange quest to cheat death / John Gray.

• Two attempts to cheat death -- Cross-correspondences -- God-builders -- Sweet morality.

• A revelatory critique of the modern world's pursuit of scientific immortality. Gray examines the worldviews of contributors from philosophers and journalists to politicians and mass murderers to consider how revisionist beliefs are changing the nature of what it means to be human.
