- FM-2030 was an author, teacher, transhumanist philosopher, futurist and consultant. FM-2030 was born Fereidoun M. Esfandiary. He became notable as a transhumanist with the book Are You a Transhuman?: Monitoring and Stimulating Your Personal Rate of Growth in a Rapidly Changing World, published in 1989. In addition, he wrote a number of works of fiction under his original name F.M. Esfandiary. The son of an Iranian diplomat, he traveled widely as a child, living in 17 countries by age 11; then, as a young man, he represented Iran as a basketball player in the 1948 Olympic Games and served on the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine from 1952 to 1954. F.M. Esfandiary changed his name to FM-2030 for two main reasons. Firstly, to reflect the hope and belief that he would live to celebrate his 100th birthday in 2030; Secondly, and more importantly, to break free of the widespread practice of naming conventions that are rooted in a collectivist mentality, and exist only as a relic of humankind's tribalistic past. Traditional names almost always stamp a label of collective identity - varying from gender, to nationality - on the individual, thereby existing as prima facie elements of thought processes in the human cultural fabric, that tend to degenerate into stereotyping, factionalism, and discrimination. In his own words, "Conventional names define a person's past: ancestry, ethnicity, nationality, religion. I am not who I was ten years ago and certainly not who I will be in twenty years. [... ] The name 2030 reflects my conviction that the years around 2030 will be a magical time. In 2030 we will be ageless and everyone will have an excellent chance to live forever. 2030 is a dream and a goal. " Many of FM-2030's predictions about social trends from the 1970s through the early 21st century proved remarkably prescient. FM-2030 argued that the inherent dynamic of the modern globalizing civilization would bring such changes about despite the best efforts of conservative elites to enforce traditional beliefs. He predicted in vitro fertilization and correcting genetic flaws in 1977, and in 1980, he predicted teleconferencing, telemedicine and teleshopping. He taught at The New School, UCLA, and Florida International University. He worked as a corporate consultant for Lockheed and J.C. Penney. He was a lifelong vegetarian and said he would not eat anything with a mother. FM-2030 once said, "I am a 21st century person who was accidentally launched in the 20th. I have a deep nostalgia for the future. " On July 8, 2000, FM-2030 died from pancreatic cancer and was placed in cryonic suspension at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona, where his body remains today. He did not yet have remote standby arrangements, so no Alcor team member was present at his death, but FM-2030 was the first person to receive the superior technology of vitrification, rather than being frozen as previous cryonics patients had been. FM-2030 was survived by his four sisters and brother. A documentary was produced about FM-2030 called Are You a Transhuman?

- FM-2030, alkuperäiseltä nimeltään Fereidoun M. Esfandiary, oli Belgiassa syntynyt transhumanistinen filosofi ja futuristi. Hän perusti 1970-luvulla Upwingers-liikkeen, joka pyrki siirtymään poliittisen vasemmisto-oikeisto -akselin tuolle puolen ja kannatti maailmanlaajuista "elektronista demokratiaa", enteillen siten nykyistä Internetiä. Iranilaisen diplomaatin poikana Esfandiary oli asunut 17 maassa jo ennen kuin täytti 11. Hän pitikin itseään maailmankansalaisena ja vaihtoi nimensä avatar-tyyliseksi FM-2030:ksi, koska hänen mielestään tavanomaiset nimet rajoittavat henkilön kansallisuuteen, perimään tai uskontoon. Lisäksi hän halusi nimensä kuvaavan optimismiaan tulevaisuutta ja vuotta 2030 kohtaan, joka olisi hänen 100-vuotispäivänsä. FM-2030 kuoli haimasyöpään vuonna 2000 ja hänet siirrettiin kryoniseen säilytykseen Alcor Life Extension Foundationin tiloihin Arizonaan.
- FM-2030 was de geadopteerde naam van de transhumanist en filosoof Fereidoun M. Esfandiary. Hij was de zoon van een Iraanse diplomaat. De term 2030 gebruikte hij om zijn hoop te tonen om zijn 100ste verjaardag nog te vieren. Bovendien zag hij de jaren rond 2030 als iets magisch, als jaren waarin het voor iedereen mogelijk is om voor eeuwig te leven . Hij overleed echter aan alvleesklierkanker in 2000. Hij liet zijn lichaam invriezen bij Alcor in de hoop in de toekomst weer tot leven gewekt te worden. Hij was een van de eerste futurologen die veel van de huidige trends in de jaren 50 en 60 voorspelde met achteraf gezien opmerkelijke accuratesse.

Впоследствии Эсфендиари сменил своё имя на FM-2030, чтобы выразить надежду на то, что ему удастся прожить как минимум 100 лет, и в 2030 году отпраздновать свой сотый день рождения: «В традиционных именах отражено прошлое человека: родословная, этническая и расовая принадлежность, национальность, религия. Я не тот, кем я был десять лет назад и, конечно же, не тот, кем я буду через двадцать лет… Имя 2030 отражает мою убеждённость, в том, что 2030-е годы станут чудесным временем. В 2030 мы победим старение, и у каждого будет прекрасная возможность жить вечно. 2030 это мечта… и цель».
