extropism

Even though my butt isn't sore or my legs cramped — one nice thing about zero-gee: if you don't like your present position, you can always stand on your head — I'm tired of counting the dimples on the shaven skull of the asteroid miner seated in front of me, and that's only slightly less boring than hearing the Superior across the aisle expound upon the principles of extropism.

"Extropism isn't a religion, but in the last few years several clans — the Algols among them — have embraced the idea that biogenic evolution isn't the final stage of extropism, and that the conquest of death itself is the ultimate objective."

"The Omega Point Theory was developed in the late twentieth century, about the same time as extropism."
