Description: Alan’s house is much more than a home, it is a testament to the human spirit. Never give in, never say die. Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of cryonics. With his garage turned into a cryonic operating theatre and the caravan trailer into a cryonic ambulance, Alan aspires to live forever, never say die. But what if you can only afford to have your head frozen? No worries, you’ll get a brand new body. Whose is unclear. But hey, what the heck, that doesn’t matter, in the future all those difficulties will be overcome…won’t they?
