The Afterlife of Sum

Friday, September 17, 2010

What if God was a bickering couple? That's just one of the provocative speculations in a book of short fiction — a surprise hit last year — called Sum: 40 Tales from the Afterlives. Another surprise: its author, David Eagleman, is a neuroscience researcher at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. When he can't test his ideas with experiments, he just writes them as fiction. Produced by Mark Anderson.
