Coupled with the other recent story about humans in the minority by year 20xx. The Insurance Companies will have a vested interest in keeping us alive forever.
In order to bill us perpetually! "And in those days men will seek death and will not find it;"
(Which also means the insurance companies will be run by women, in order to perpetually nag the men.)
Happy I never wasted my money nor time on ebook technology:
IMDB quote: "Star Trek: Court Martial (#1.20)" (1967) Cogley: Books, young man, books. Thousands of them. If time wasn't so important, I'd show you something. My library. Thousands of books. Captain James T. Kirk: And what would be the point? Cogley: This is where the law is. Not in that homogenized, pasteurized synthesizer. Do you want to know the law? The ancient concepts in their own language? Learn the intent of the men who wrote them, from Moses to the tribunal of Alpha III? Books. Captain James T. Kirk: You have to be either an obsessive crackpot who's escaped from his keeper, or Samuel T. Cogley, attorney at law. Cogley: You're right on both counts. Need a lawyer? Captain James T. Kirk: I'm afraid so. ?"
Rather than suspended animation, they should invent the Stasis chamber in Red Dwarf. (Then wake up 3 million years later with the descendants of your evolved cat!)
What was it originally used for? Oh yeah, to suspend crewman David Lister for 18 months without pay...
The tragic thing is those CRM-114 discriminators worked in Baudot over HF at 110 bits, per second. I forget how long the they said it would take to crack the recall code, but the big bottleneck was the transmission speed.
Now the recall code can be spoofed at network speeds!

They'll end up putting vehicles in underground roadways then the Eloi can walk the streets to the green fields beyond.
Of course Swedish Farmers are mainly concerned about supplying the larders of Swedish Chefs!
But there is only one way to prepare Chicky in the Basky, and that's by firing a shotgun into the air.

Then we can set up the mind controlled laser sharks as guards.
I'm reminded of the old Red Skelton skit, as a whacky inventor Ludwick von Humperdoo who created the cement tire.
