We recently came across an article by Brandon Keim in Wired titled Consciousness After Death: Strange Tales From the Frontiers of Resuscitation Medicine. It’s a nice summary of the real science underlying The Meta in The Cowboy and Vampire Thriller series. Increasingly, as scientists are able to measure life at the cellular and synaptic level, ways that extend life beyond simple respiration and blood flow, a period in between life and death has come into focus, or an “after-life” as its called in this article. People who are resuscitated from this limbo land often refer to this as a near-death-experience. It’s heartening to see science taking these experiences seriously. And writers are leading the way with Consciousness Fiction, or Con-fi.раскрутка сайта
