I’m now wavering a bit on my earlier dismissal of people freezing their bodies for an indeterminate future revival. I could probably get into a science fiction story with this premise:
Instead of relying upon machinery, some zillionaire has their body dry frozen and stashed in a lunar south pole crater, with a foundation funding interstellar propulsion research to move the body to the coldest stable points discovered along the way towards the Boomerang Nebula (1° Kelvin) and research to revive back from burnt-crisp state.
The foundation incites all sorts of advancements along the way like working out practical fusion and ever more exotic energy generation, AGI, gravity manipulation, Drexlerian nanotech, Dyson swarm, star wisps, self-modifying bodies and so on, in its quixotic quest to fulfill its mandate.
- namaria 3y agoI kinda wanna write an horror story about people freezing their bodies or heads only to be revived in the future bat shit insane from the excruciating experience of existing for several decades in a sort of limbo...
