Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives

What happens to us when we die? And what does that tell us about being human?

In these wonderfully imagined tales - at once funny, wistful, and unsettling - David Eagleman kicks over the chessboard of traditional notions and offers us a dazzling lens through which to see ourselves here and now.  His stories are rooted in science and romance and awe at our mysterious existence: a mixture of hope, love, and death, that cuts through human nature at innovative angles.
