The Transhumanist Wager. Has anyone read this thing? The Wikipedia synopsis reads like a satirical description of a fictional book. This review is absolutely scathing, including of the ethics of the author-avatar protagonist; this one is a bit nicer. The author commented here very slightly.
When I first read synopses, I seriously thought it was a parody by the person who writes Amor Mundi.
Its existence illustrates everything wrong with particular sub-parts of the the transhumanist/libertarian cluster.
I'm sure transhumanists everywhere will be delighted at being depicted in popular culture (NYT bestseller!) as sociopathic Objectivists with a cryonics membership.
