Eagleman's Alternate Afterlives

In two programs from RN David Eagleman discusses both his neuroscientific work and his recently published collection of short stories. A synesthesia researcher by day and a writer of spiritually themed alternate rationalities by night Eagleman, when asked about his own beliefs regarding what occurs after life, describes himself as "a celebrant of the size of the possibility space". It is this notion that no doubt guided him in his writing of forty different post-death scenarios in which he considers all sorts of permutations, many of which are significantly less appealing, (but no less possible), than those offered to us by mainstream religions.
