It wasn't on the list because it wasn't included in the category
"Transhumanist books". I fixed that by adding:

[[Category:Transhumanist books]]

to its page.

I also added Great Mambo Chicken, but that was a bit more work. Since
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Transhumanist_books> is a
generated page containing a list of pages in that category, I had to
create a stub page for Mambo Chicken. Even though it looks trivial, it
took me half an hour or so to figure out what needed to be in there.
The next one should go faster.
