Subject: announcing novel about cryonics

 I would like to announce my new book on CryoNet. It deals with cryonic
suspension and I believe the story, a novel, would be of interest to
readers of the CryoNet web page. The book is entitled "Foresight Capacity".
If this could be done, suggested copy would be like this: ( Editing for
space is OK)

 " In 1990, Berkeley scientist, Dr. Martin Coleman, develops an inoperable
brain tumor and elects to be cryonically suspended until a cure is developed.
His family subsequently decides to let him "rest in peace" even thought a
corrective procedure is later developed. Then, in 2050, the country
experiences a massive epidemic when several federal radioactive nuclear waste
disposal sites, improperly constructed in the late' 80s and '90s begin to
leak and pollute the environment.It is learned that handling such waste was
Coleman's special area of science. He is located (at Alcor), treated and
restored to normal life.

"Foresight Capacity" is a novel of ideas about the course of democracy during
the next fifty years and how Coleman copes with the technological, social,
economic and governmental changes that have taken place. It warns of the
dangers if elected officials 
fail to intelligently plan for and take prudent action with regard to the
future."
