Six Feet Over: Science Tackles The Afterlife by Mary Roach

"What happens when we die? Does the light go out, and that's that―the million-year nap? Or will some part of my personality, my me-ness persist? What will that feel like? What will I do all day? Is there a place to plug in my laptop?" In an attempt to find out, Mary Roach brings her tireless curiosity to bear on an array of contemporary and historical soul-searchers: scientists, schemers, engineers, and mediums, all trying to prove (or disprove) that life goes on after we die. Paperback, 320 pages.
