This is an interesting use of the "cold sleep" idea, mentioning its medical uses rather than just the use of cryogenic techniques to ease the passage of humans to the stars via normal space.
Very early use of this word.
As far as I know, the first use of the word "cryosleep" occurs in Man: The Next Thirty Years, a 1968 book by Henry Still:
"You mean that thing where they quick-freeze you..."
Compare to Suspended Animation (Frigorific Process) from The Senator's Daughter (1879) by Edward Page Mitchell, cold-sleep from Robert Heinlein's Methuselah's Children (1941), stasis from Heinlein's Door Into Summer (1951),
corpsicle from Pohl's The Age of the Pussyfoot (1965) and the EverRest Cryotorium from Roger Zelazny's Flare (1992). Comment/Join this discussion ( 0 ) | RSS/XML | Blog This | Additional
