Publisher's Summary

Two stories from SUM: Tales from the Afterlives by David Eagleman.

In 'Prism', read by Jarvis Cocker, in the afterlife you are split into your multiple selves at all possible ages.

In 'Search', read by Kerry Fox, in the moment of transition between life and death your thousand trillion trillion atoms begin to blend into the earth around you, so that you're not gone but taking on different forms.

In SUM, David Eagleman entertains 40 fictional possibilities of life beyond death. With wit and humanity, he asks the key questions about existence, hope, technology and love. These stories are full of big ideas and bold imagination.

This release is one of 20 pairings of readings from the audiobook, which assembles a stellar cast of narrators who bring the scenarios of SUM brilliantly alive: Gillian Anderson, Emily Blunt, Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, Jack Davenport, Lisa Dwan, David Eagleman, Noel Fielding, Kerry Fox, Stephen Fry, Clarke Peters, Lemn Sissay and Harriet Walter.
