Julie Lasky of Design Observer says:

I thought you guys might be interested in minutes I dug up from a 2003 cryogenics seminar, with attendees discussing the design of Timeship, a loopy facility for housing 10,000 frozen dead people. Much conversational chatter about things like "frozen religious leaders" and "vitrified brains." The architect of Timeship, Stephen Valentine, just came out with a book [Timeship: The Architecture of Immortality] about his still-unbuilt design.
