What a joy! It's clear how influential this story was. You've got cryopreservation, cyborgs, dying earth, deep time... all in one single short story from the 1930s. Reads like the kind of stuff Olaf Stapledon wrote around the same time but actually fun to read. It's a great initial vision of the sad death of our world. This one definitely felt Golden Age.
Read as part of the “Voices from the Radium Age” anthology.
