{"product_id":"9780307389930","title":"Sum","description":"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.","brand":"David Eagleman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":52355535208608,"sku":"9780307389930","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_552727fe-52eb-457c-b205-e0649827c30d.jpg?v=1742597938","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780307389930","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
