Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives

Recently, I went to a book presentation. The book, titled Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives by David Eagleman, has been gaining esteem and increasing recognition. Essentially, Eagleman wrote vignettes about possible afterlives. The main idea behind his book is the sometimes mind-blowing question: What if? What if God is merely the size of a microbe and unaware of our existance? What if our creators are dim-witted creatures that build it to figure out what they cannot? What if that in the afterlife we relive all of our experiences by moments that share a quality?

David Eagleman wrote a book that not only contains funny, creative anecdotes about life after death, but that also probes the limitless box of possibilities and imaginations. Reading his book, made me think of the answers to questions that I don't know and the possibilities of life that I can yet explore. Why should I be bounded by my own imagination? Everyone remains a child at heart and our 'What If' questions should never be ignored.
