SUM shows us forty wonderfully imagined possibilities of life
beyond death. 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 the afterlife contains only 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. Many versions of our purpose here are
proposed; 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 tales?at once witty, wistful and unsettling?are
rooted in science and romance and awe at our mysterious existence
while asking the key questions about death, hope, technology,
immortality, love, biology and desire that expose radiant new
facets of our humanity.
