What happens when we die? Do we exist in an ethereal plane that cannot be perceived by human conscience? Are we forced to spend eternity as the background characters in another person’s dreams? Do we have to exist eternally seeing ourselves from the perspectives of those who knew us when we were alive? Will we get to meet Mary Shelley?
All of these possibilities– and quite a few more– are posited in neuroscientist David Eagleman’s delightful (and short) book of stories. Rodney discovered this book as part of another book club and was moved enough by it to share it with Aaron and Rebecca. The three of them are now going to share it with you.
