"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.

評分奇特的想象與深邃的洞察 生命是醒著的夢,你隻活這一次,勇敢一點,感恩珍惜擁有的一切,不要留下遺憾
評分很有趣的一本小書。<Metamorphosis>一篇裏的三個死亡階段的概念在Pixar電影《Coco》裏被藉用。覺得除此之外好幾篇都適閤拍成電影。
評分四十種死後的世界。很久沒見過的本科同學夏從芝加哥過來舊金山開會,我們在一個四川小餐館裏麵聊天,他介紹瞭這本書。
評分天馬行空
总起来讲,这是一部用几何学的逻辑,结合20世纪的科学知识背景以及西方式的人文情怀写成的书.作者乃文科背景,后来又成为美国排名前几的医学院(贝勒医学院,Baylor College of Medicine)的主任.这种经历使得作者可以在这个几千年来充满了宗教和迷信(或者其他一切武断的论述)的...
評分我一共用了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...
評分关于生命的书,一直很吸引我。没看之前超期待,看完真是没想法。有豆友在论坛说,大陆版跟台版完全是两本书。好吧,没准真是内地编辑搞得鬼……比起正文,我反而很喜欢张国庆的推荐序,很有意思。 110717下外公家
