Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives
of David Eagleman (Goodreads Author)
Description
At once funny, wistful and unsettling, Sum is a dazzling exploration of unexpected afterlivesâeach presented as a vignette that offers a stunning lens through which to see ourselves in the here and now. In one afterlife, you may find that God is the size of a microbe and unaware of your existence. In another version, you work as a background character in other peopleâs dreams. Or you may find that God is a married couple, or that the universe is running backward, or that you are forced to live out your afterlife with annoying versions of who you could have been. With a probing imagination and deep understanding of the human condition, acclaimed neuroscientist David Eagleman offers wonderfully imagined tales that shine a brilliant light on the here and now.
