Tickets to Eternity
I’ve finished Robert J. Sawyer’s The Terminal Experiment. Set in Canada, it follows Peter Hobson, who invents a machine capable of scanning the human brain and detecting the neurons’ shimmer—a soul—which leaves the body right after death. At the same time, his friend Sarkar Muhammed runs a company whose device can scan an entire brain profile and transfer it into a computer. It’s a blend of sci-fi and detective fiction—well written and an easy read.
The book won the 1995 Nebula Award for Best Novel, which surprised me a bit. It’s a good book, but a little too mundane for my taste—somewhat Stephen King–like, but on the minimal side. It’s good, but not great. 7.5/10.
