Recenzii
'Every chapter in this study raises thought-provoking points about our desire for immortality and by using an impressively broad range of examples from science fiction shows the responsiveness of that genre to serious attention. Indeed How to Live Forever makes an excellent guide to the theme of immortality in the genre.' - Literature and Theology
