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.

读后感
想像力 邏輯嚴密的科普 又帶著浪漫色彩 要再多看幾次方能更深體會 發人深省地被引領入科幻的瑰麗世界…… 好吧 不得不說 合上書後 是滿滿對生命的感動。 By the way 結束篇太完美 但不要跳過去看它 它的美感離不開你對前面每一篇細細品味后的思考。 無神論者的神至高無...
评分 评分记录一下2月19日读完的大卫·伊格曼的《死亡的故事》。之前囤书的时候看到名字就买了，不过这本书和我想象的描写死亡的故事完全不同。 这本书是作者一系列幻想而成的短小故事，每个故事都描绘了跟死亡有关的一点内容，或开脑洞，或讽刺，有那么几篇确实也带来了一些乐趣。我把...
评分它告诉我们许多来生的事. 其实人人都不确定有什么前世今生. 但它为人提供了别样的思考方式. 不艰深,不生涩.甚至有时候充满戏谑. 它说我们在来生,会过一种日子. 就是把今生做过的事,都重新来一遍.但次序不一样. 就是把事情不再罗列着做,而是用整块时间做. 比如今生你花了多久吃...
评分总起来讲，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...
