Overview
This David Eagleman collection brings together three brand new paperbacks from the Stanford neuroscientist and bestselling author: Sum, Incognito, and The Brain. Together they move from speculative short fiction about the afterlife to deep dives into the subconscious mind and the biology that makes us who we are. Written in Eagleman's signature blend of scientific rigor and literary wit, this three-book set suits readers who love big ideas about consciousness and identity. A thought-provoking gift or library addition for science and philosophy fans alike.

About the Books
This three-book bundle showcases the range of David Eagleman's writing, from inventive fiction to accessible popular science. Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives is a slim, genre-bending collection of forty short stories, each imagining a different version of what might wait after death — some funny, some unsettling, all rooted in a scientist's sense of wonder about existence. Incognito: The Secret Lives of The Brain pulls back the curtain on the hidden machinery of the mind, exploring how much of our behavior, from dating choices to moral judgments, is driven by processes we never consciously notice. Eagleman draws on brain injuries, criminal law, and everyday examples to show that the conscious "you" is only a small part of a much larger neural operation. The Brain: The Story of You continues this exploration with a tour of the brain's role in identity and decision-making, touching on extreme sports, brain surgery, and robotics along the way. Across all three titles, Eagleman's voice is curious, clear, and often playful, making complex neuroscience and philosophical questions genuinely enjoyable to read. Whether picked up for a single standout title or read together as a set, these books reward readers who like their science served with imagination and heart, and this brand new paperback bundle is an ideal way to sample Eagleman's full range of work in one collection.
