SUM: Adhesion (Lisa Dwan) / Conservation (Clarke Peters‪)‬

Two stories from SUM: Tales from the Afterlives by David Eagleman.

In 'Adhesion', read by Lisa Dwan, we are the products of large beings that camp out on asteroids and call themselves Collectors.

In 'Conservation', read by Clarke Peters, we deduce that the genesis of the universe consisted not of the Big Bang, but the uneventful, hushed production of a single quark.

In SUM, David Eagleman entertains 40 fictional possibilities of life beyond death. With wit and humanity, he asks the key questions about existence, hope, technology and love. These stories are full of big ideas and bold imagination.

This release is one of 20 pairings of readings from the audiobook, which assembles a stellar cast of narrators who bring the scenarios of SUM brilliantly alive: Gillian Anderson, Emily Blunt, Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, Jack Davenport, Lisa Dwan, David Eagleman, Noel Fielding, Kerry Fox, Stephen Fry, Clarke Peters, Lemn Sissay and Harriet Walter.
