First Edition, First Printing. Signed and inscribed by the author / chemist & futurist Robert W. Prehoda: ÒFor my good friends Sev and Ina, Who are also students of the Ôshadowy shape of things to comeÕ. With my very best wishes for THE FUTURE. Bob Prehoda, September 1, 1967Ó. Near fine copy with some minor foxing to the edges in a very good slightly dust soiled dust jacket with some minor edge wear. Robert Prehoda (1931 - 2009) was an author and scientist and one of the early pioneers in cryonics, participating in the first cryonic suspension of a human being, psychology professor James Bedford. Amongst PrehodaÕs works is the landmark, Suspended Animation: The Research Possibility That May Allow Man to Conquer the Limiting Chains of Time. From the publisher: ÒThe exciting possibilities for future technological development are explored in this pioneer work on technological forecasting in American society. The author demonstrates that it is not utopian thinking to expect that we will be able to ÔcureÕ the aging process, extending the lifespan 100 years, 200 years, or indefinitely. Human hibernation or suspended animation may allow many to bypass the immediate future and emerge in a golden age with the vigor and industry of youth reawakened.Ó.
