FYI, there’s a trio of books starting with “We Are Legion (We Are Bob)” that is hysterical beyond belief. Robert Johansson, an engineer, entrepreneur and very-recent tech millionaire, dies at a sci-fi convention and has his head frozen. 150 years later, he’s replicated in software as Bob 2.0 but, as far as he can tell, he’s still Bob.

A little preachy here and there, but not so much as to be aggravating.

Interesting. Years ago, I watched a short sci-fi TV series entitled “Cold Lazarus.” The premise was the old “freeze the head and thaw it out later” plot. The problem came when they thawed out the head of this rich industrialist. When he realizes what is happening, he’s horrified and wants to pull the plug. Albert Finney, I believe. Anyone remember this?

That’s a great story. Laughed my way through it.
