At once funny, wistful and unsettling, Sum is a dazzling exploration of unexpected afterlives—each presented as a vignette that offers a stunning lens through which to see ourselves in the here and now. In one afterlife, you may find that God is the size of a microbe and unaware of your existence. In another version, you work as a background character in other people’s dreams. Or you may find that God is a married couple, or that the universe is running backward, or that you are forced to live out your afterlife with annoying versions of who you could have been. With a probing imagination and deep understanding of the human condition, acclaimed neuroscientist David Eagleman offers wonderfully imagined tales that shine a brilliant light on the here and now.
作者简介大卫·伊格曼,贝勒医学院神经医学博士后,曾在牛津大学攻读英美文学。他是饱读文艺作品、诗人气质浓郁的科学家,在美国多家报纸开有专栏。
《生命的清单》酝酿了7年,集中了他对生命的思考和对心灵的洞见,甫一推出即惊艳英美图书界。目前已经售出22国版权,并且被改编成歌剧,2009年9月在悉尼歌剧院上演,这在当代文学作品改编史上是极为罕见的。
评论界认为,《生命的清单》有着卡尔维诺、博尔赫斯、埃柯的智慧小品一样的奇趣,既轻灵又深沉,值得人们反复品读。
伊格曼的来世景象绝对颠覆你以往从任何
“导师”和“经典”中获得的印象和安慰。他创见性地就圣行与长生设置了新的基准,为人们找到了一个绝对不同的、戏讽的、新奇的来生世界。
读过它,你一定会觉得吃惊、纳闷,并且或多或少打乱人生的步伐。它的锐利和刻薄让你重新思考和打量世界,它的智慧和温暖也会让你更加勇敢地继续以后的生活。
