Summary
As Derek Sivers puts it:
Awesomely creating think-piece. 40 very short fictional stories about what happens when you die. The framework is inspiring for anyone: coming up with 40 different answers to any one question. But they’re also just brilliant ideas and powerful little fables.
I really enjoyed it. Some of the stories were a little out there, but on the whole I think I could definitely read it again.
I think there’s more of an emphasis on the ideas rather than actual plausible answers, but I don’t mind. Some of the stories feel like they started with the idea first and then an answer evolved from that rather than the other way around. But again, it’s still a great book.
