Mankind, even in the computerised and science-driven age of the 21st century, is still unable to let go the dreams and visions of a spirit world that have held sway since the infancy of our race. The question of whether there is life after death looms large and with the increasing capabilities of technology we see not a shrinking of the shadows but an expanded possibility of explanation and detection. Harding's book explores the phenomenology and theory of the afterlife in a thoroughly modern light.
