    <body><![CDATA[This little book is brilliant! Forty tales from the afterlife, each one is more unexpected, funny, sad and clever than the next one - they make you laugh, talk to yourself and look for anyone to share your delight.<br/>Could you imagine the afterlife that is exactly like your past life but everything happened in a different sequence. First, you eat for 30 years, than you sleep for the next 40, after that you chat on a phone for the 25 and sit at the front of TV in a zombie state for the whole 10 years. Or what about the God being a microbe and having no idea that the background it growing against is a human civilization, or the virtual afterlife, when you can download your own consciousness and create the next virtual life after you planned your own death. There is a Universe where no one dies and the concept does not work, there is a civilization of humans that exists as a holiday resort after working hard on the other side. There are many types of Heaven and Hell, God and afterlives and in the end it is a smartest little book about the meaning of life I read in a long time.<br/>]]></body>
