| Abstract
|
:
|
"This book explores conceptions of the soul and the afterlife that are consistent with the findings of modern science. Many possible afterlives are examined, including physical resurrection (whether supernatural, biological or cybernetic in form), reincarnation, participation in a dream-like world or collective mind, and the persistence of recycling centers of pure consciousness"--
