Introduction to 2181 Overture, Second Edition by Gu Shi

4.5

 

A very interesting and unique take on a novelette as we have an introduction for an imaginary book. I was fascinated by the approach taken considering social and scientific limitations to cryogenesis. The idea that a human lifespan would have a terminal length was intriguing and made a lot of sense using a very accessible scientific basis. I didn’t expect for there to be a twist at the end but I appreciated the personal angle and the emotional impact.
