I want to join the chorus of praise I've been hearing for Jim Halperin's new
novel "The First Immortal", if it becomes a best seller it could end up
changing the world as much as "Uncle Tom's Cabin" or "The Origin of Species.
The great thing is that he describes achieving physical immortality in the
near future but rebels against the stale convention of crying copious tears
over how dreadful a world without death would be. Halperin will probably take
some flack from death worshipers for not sprinkling in stuff about Man
meddling in God's domain and other pious platitudes throughout his book, it
seems to be the custom when discussing such matters, but Jim is just too
original for that and he refuses to pander to the superstitions of the masses.
This is an important book and I highly recommend it.
