Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives by David Eagleman
We’ll be discussing the widely acclaimed Sum: Forty tales from the afterlives by David Eagleman at our book club meeting on Wednesday 19th July. Join us for a lively and stimulating discussion with like-minded people in a relaxed atmosphere.
David Eagleman is a world-renowned neuroscientist. His novel Sum uses the idea of the afterlife to explore the human condition.
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.

Hi Elan, thanks for the feedback. We’d love to change the format of our webpage, blog etc. Unfortunately, we do not have anyone in our group with the time/skills to be able to do this. I don’t know if you could recommend how to approach this?
