具体描述
"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 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...
评分worth reading 是我在亚马逊评价的题目，这本书我花了三天读完，从一开始就是一种娓娓道来的感觉，不急不躁，其实我不确定这是书给我感觉，还是我自己当下的心态，我很享受读这本书的时光，每天非常困，但是都会抽时间细细读。我的记性不好，不能像有些读者一样能仔细的记住书...
