"SUM" is a dazzling exploration of funny and unexpected afterlives that have never been considered-each presented as a vignette that offers us a stunning lens through which to see ourselves here and now. In one afterlife you may find that God is the size of a microbe and is unaware of your existence. In another, your creators are a species of dim-witted creatures who built us to figure out what they could not. In a different version of the afterlife you work as a background character in other people's dreams. Or you may find that God is a married couple struggling with discontent, or that the afterlife contains only those people whom you remember, or that the hereafter includes the thousands of previous gods who no longer attract followers. In some afterlives you are split into your different ages; in some you are forced to live with annoying versions of yourself that represent what you could have been; in others you are re-created from your credit card records and Internet history. David Eagleman proposes many versions of our purpose here; we are mobile robots for cosmic mapmakers, we are reunions for a scattered confederacy of atoms, we are experimental subjects for gods trying to understand what makes couples stick together. These wonderfully imagined tale-at once funny, wistful, and unsettling-are rooted in science and romance and awe at our mysterious existence: a mixture of death, hope, computers, immortality, love, biology, and desire that exposes radiant new facets of our humanity.
You will not read a more dazzling book this year than David Eagleman's "Sum". If you read it and aren't enchanted I will eat 40 hats.

评分非常好非常好
评分好爱
我一共用了8个阅读次数完成。 书的内容犹如它的副标题 “forty tales from the Afterlife ” 四十条往生的小故事。算是作者对人过身之后灵魂经历的脑洞小故事。 故事与故事是独立分开的,不是小说,有点散文集的样子,有一种反思生命活着的意义的感觉。 正式阅读之前我非常担心...
评分 评分一本薄书,能让你看楞那么一下,有那么一两句话,让你停一下,想象。 5万字,敢卖20块钱,算得上打劫。 “你治病为了什么”,为了快些好,好了之后做什么?难道等死吗?几个循环问题,有点未来,有点哲学,有点呓语。 每个故事都不长,不到1500字,却能发到《科学》上去,值得...
