…a couple of books I'm glad I read: "Dahlgren" by Samuel Delaney (and most everything else I've read by him as well). "Earthsea" by Ursula LeGuin - and "Powers". "Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson. "Holy Fire" by Bruce Sterling (I also enjoyed Islands in the Net, Zenith Angle and Schismatrix). "Foundation" trilogy + prequel by Isaac Asimov. "Brave New World", Aldous Huxley. "Deepness in the Sky" / "Fire…
…die screaming than live forever." There are downsides to the kind of extreme prudence that planning to be around for centuries would imply. Also, there's a fantastic novel from Bruce Sterling called Holy Fire that is devoted to exploring the tension between living to continue living and living in the moment.
…might not be the best guide... I recommend looking into Bruce Sterling, if you enjoy Gibson - particularly Islands in the Net (if you can find it! I ended up buying an expensive used copy online) and Holy Fire.
If you enjoyed "Snow Crash" and "Diamond Age", I'd recommend "Islands in the Net" (if you can get hold of a copy) and "Holy Fire" by Bruce Sterling. Or for something newer, "the Zenith Angle" by same. I've also enjoyed all of Willam Gibsons books, including the latest trilogy "Pattern Recognition", "Spook Country" and "Zero History".…
…Stanislaw Lem I'd recommend (for some classic sci-fi), also Roadside Picnic (Strugatsky brothers) is very good. Keeping with the theme of the other books listed above, I'd recommend Bruce Sterling's "Holy Fire", or maybe "Babel-17" by Samuel R. Delany (although I prefer his youth fantasy novel "Neveyona" which deals with some of the same themes). Also, you can't go wrong with his "The Einstein Intersection".…
Mr. Bruce Sterling authored "Holy Fire" in 1996, a novel which deals with the topic of radical life extension through a protagonist who is an elderly woman. Contemplative, and a fun read. Were he alive, Jules Verne would have been an excellent…
……有几本我很庆幸自己读过的书：塞缪尔·德拉尼的《达尔格伦》（他写的其他书我也几乎都读了）。厄休拉·勒古恩的《地海传奇》——还有《异端》。尼尔·斯蒂芬森的《钻石时代》。布鲁斯·斯特灵的《圣火》（他的《网中群岛》、《天顶角》和《分裂矩阵》我也很喜欢）。艾萨克·阿西莫夫的《基地》三部曲加前传。奥尔德斯·赫胥黎的《美丽新世界》。《天渊》/《深渊上的火……

……尖叫着死去，也不愿长生不死。”如果要为活上好几个世纪做打算，那种极度谨慎的生活方式是有弊端的。另外，布鲁斯·斯特灵有本极好的小说叫《圣火》，专门探讨了“为了活着而苟活”与“活在当下”之间的张力。

……可能不是最好的指南……如果你喜欢吉布森（Gibson），我建议你去看看布鲁斯·斯特灵的书——尤其是《网中群岛》（如果你能找得到的话！我最后是在网上花大价钱买了本二手书）和《圣火》。

如果你喜欢《雪崩》和《钻石时代》，我推荐布鲁斯·斯特灵的《网中群岛》（如果你能搞到一本的话）和《圣火》。或者想看更新一点的，可以看他写的《天顶角》。威廉·吉布森的所有书我也都很喜欢，包括最新的三部曲《模式识别》、《幽灵之国》和《零历史》。……

……我会推荐斯坦尼斯瓦夫·莱姆（看经典科幻的话），另外斯特鲁加茨基兄弟的《路边野餐》也非常棒。顺着上面列出的其他书的主题，我推荐布鲁斯·斯特灵的《圣火》，或者塞缪尔·R·德拉尼的《巴贝尔-17》（虽然我更喜欢他涉及类似主题的青少年奇幻小说《内维永纳》）。此外，他的《爱因斯坦交点》也绝对不会踩雷。……

布鲁斯·斯特灵先生在 1996 年写了《圣火》，这本小说以一位老年女性为主角，探讨了激进寿命延长这一主题。引人深思，读起来也很有趣。要是儒勒·凡尔纳还活着，他本会是一个极好的……
