I thought he'd read a fair amount of science fiction. Shouldn't he have heard of it there?

Second thought: I have a vague impression that there used to be more cryonics in science fiction from before 1975 or so. If I'm right (and I'm not at all sure that I am), would that affect what Harry would be likely to know?
