Summary:

Since the 1950s, futurists have been obsessed with cryonics, the practice of freezing dead people in liquid nitrogen in order to restore them to life later. But thanks to new developments in life-extension technology, cryonics isn't as far-fetched an idea as it used to be â€" and young Silicon Valley types are getting interested. We follow one young tech worker who is considering cryonics for himself, and trying to assess the future of this strange futurist subculture.“Real Future” seeks to get up close with people and communities using new technologies to change the world.
