The book suggests that there are two notable trends happening in American intellectual life - a renewed interest in Chinese culture and a renewed interest in death. The book, "Revolutionary Immortality," is related to both of these trends.

The reference to China may indicate that Americans are increasingly looking to China for cultural inspiration or intellectual exchange. This could be due to China's growing influence on the world stage, or simply because there is a growing awareness of China's rich history and culture.

Meanwhile, the reference to death may indicate that Americans are becoming more interested in exploring the concept of mortality, perhaps as a reaction to a society that often seems to prioritize youth and vitality above all else. This trend might be reflected in the popularity of books and media that deal with death and dying, as well as the increasing openness of Americans to discussing these topics.

The book "Revolutionary Immortality" thus intersects with both of these trends, perhaps by exploring the ways in which Chinese culture has approached death and immortality throughout history. Alternatively, it could be examining the ways in which Chinese thought and culture could inform Western discussions around death and mortality.
