A Russian billionaire has a plan to make himself, and others, live forever.

Dmitry Itskov, a 31-year-old media mogul, implored other magnates to fund cybernetic immortality and the artificial body basically transferring human consciousness into a robot body.

In open letter to the Forbes richest list he wrote, Currently you invest in business projects that will bring you yet another billion.

You also have the ability to finance the extension of your own life up to immortality. Our civilization has come very close to the creation of such technologies: its not a science fiction fantasy. It is in your power to make sure that this goal will be achieved in your lifetime.

According to Mashable, his timetable is tight:

1. By 2025, scientists will be able to transfer the human brain into a robotic skeleton.

2. By 2035, an avatar brain will be created and your personality inserted within.

3. By 2045, humans will walk around in holographic avatars that will never die (cue evil laughter).
