X-Message-Number: 526 From: (Max More) Subject: Re: Extropy sub Date: Tue, 5 Nov 91 10:15:27 PST Since Thomas chose to bring the subject up here, I will briefly respond: As far as I recall Thomas requested subscription information for EXTROPY: The Journal of Transhumanist Thought, but did not send money. Apart from my not having any memory of receiving money, there is no record in the database. However, I have asked Thomas to let me know if he has a cancelled check. In case anyone requests a subscription beginning with the next issue please note that EXTROPY comes out only twice a year, not monthly. The last issue appeared in May 1991, and #8 is in production, hopefully to be available before the end of November (at least in time for the Alcor Turkey Roast!). Subscriptions are $4/issue ($12 for the current issue plus the two coming for the year ahead), or $4.50/issue on Canada, $6/issue overseas. The current issue, #7, has something of direct relevance to cryonics: Keith Henson and Arel Lucas's "A Memetic Approach to Selling Cryonics". The forthcoming issue, #8, has major articles on Dynamic Optimism (a major expansion on my Cryonics column of a few months ago), a second installment of Futique Neologism (futurist lexicon), Artificial Life by Simon! D. Levy, Ideas Futures by Robin Hanson (a much shorter version appeared in Foresight Update), possibly a first installment of a series on electronic communications by Russell Whitaker, Human-Transhuman-Posthuman by myself, Extropia by Tom W. Bell (a plan for a developing Extropian/immortalist community), and reviews of David's Sling, The Silicon Man, Unbounding the Future, and perhaps The Anthropic Cosmological Principle, plus a news round up and zine reviews.
