Description
‘The Immortalization Commission’ delves into the captivating intersection of science, spirituality, and the human obsession with eternal life. This historical narrative, penned by the acclaimed John Gray, explores two peculiar attempts to conquer death. The first, rooted in late Victorian England, involves the Society for Psychical Research’s elite members, including figures like Henry Sidgwick and Arthur Balfour, who sought proof of life beyond the grave. The second tale transports readers to post-revolutionary Russia, where Bolsheviks, inspired by the works of Fedorov, aimed to scientifically engineer immortality. Gray masterfully examines these quests, revealing the profound and often unsettling implications of humanity’s yearning for immortality.
