Ettinger-ManIntoSuperman---> Jacket cover refers to transhumanism.

I just noticed that Man Into Superman refers to "trans" humanism directly under the Superman title. For me, that's a contradiction. I'll try to quickly re-read the book and see what Ettinger had on his mind. I wrote "An Introduction to Classical SuperHumanism" published in Cryonics magazine in Jan. 2002 1st Qtr. and basically promoted the idea of maintaining human form factor while becoming stronger in current characteristics. Transhumanism is anathema to my vision especially now since tH'ers have joined with Technocracy to try to take over the world and even depopulate in favor of a small breakaway non-human group.
