They are serious about this, too. They want immortality. Some libertarians are into cryogenics. They have contracted with these corporations that promise to freeze your head, or for a higher price your entire body, until such time as (a) you can be brought back to life with a new and improved body, or (b) your brain's contents can be downloaded into some electronic medium and put into a robot.
Does that put into context just how realistic the libertarian infatuation with common interest housing really is?
