This is a book that I really loved. It was glittering and glorious. It’s a short story collection all about the afterlife, or afterlives, as it explores the many many things that could happen to us after death. Some are quiet and simple, some are completely nuts, some are kind of terrifying to consider. It’s a fascinating way of looking at the possibility of God and religion, is really whimsical in places and just brilliant!

Wanted to read since I heard one of the stories on NPR years ago, and finally got to it.
This is a collection of short stories by David Eagleman about 'the Afterlife.' More so a mix of searches on human existence. This was a great read, and the stories brought up a series of emotions and tugged at my brain.
Highly recommended.

i appreciated the concept, but not enough to read the subtle reiterations of that concept in story form. so, i didn't like it. i wanted to, but couldn't get past the way it felt. it was like watching someone parallel park and they just cant get the car in right. you watch them pull back onto the curb or hit the car behind them in a just large enough space, and its entertaining- but if it goes on for too long you want to knock on the window and ask if they need help or offer to find another spot. i wouldn't mind finding this book in a waiting room, reading a story or two, and then leaving it there. the purchase excitement was 'eh.

This is a great book of short stories, very well written and interesting. Every one is a different take on what the afterlife might be. Great conversation starter or things to think about.
