Fiction
At once funny, wistful and unsettling, Sum is a dazzling
exploration of unexpected afterlives—each 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 people’s 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.
