I don't think this essay applies specifically enough to immortality to be a good entry. And while I enjoy most of Hanson's writings, I also suspect that this submission would differ in tone too much of the book to be useful.

Dear Professor Hanson

Thank you for offering the republication of your essay "If Uploads come first" for inclusion in the forthcoming book published by the Immortality Institute.
We have received a very encouraging response to our call, including a great number of quality original submissions written for the occasion especially. As you will understand, these entries will be treated with priority. We therefore regret to say, that your submission cannot be included in the book. Considering the interest and excellent response to the call, there will likely soon be future publications by the Institute. We would be very happy to see you participating again.

Best wishes
The Immortality Institute editorial team
