A new book aimed at kids. A different message for sure. Something not heard in many circles outside of LongeCity. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/a-transhumanist-wants-to-teach-kids-that-death-is-wrong

You can support LongeCity by buying Death is Wrong .

Review on Slate of Death is Wrong by Stolyarov:

The Most Terrifying Kids’ Book: A transhumanist wants children to know that Death Is Wrong by Joelle Renstrom


Very negative: "Kids could grow up not just afraid of death, but also afraid of failing to fix it. Stolyarov makes death a powerful nemesis that could rule their lives—just as it’s ruled his."

I just put a small amount to this cause and I think everyone else here should too.

Bob Lane has written an excellent post about Death is Wrong on his site LifeVsDeath.com. Read it here. Mr. Lane writes that “This is an important step in a long-term effort to win minds and change attitudes. I applaud the author’s efforts and plan to share a copy with my 15-year-old. […] Even if you don’t have children, please consider supporting the author in what he is trying to accomplish.”
