You Never Die

The Book

You Never Die

A scientific case for immortality — without gods, souls, or the supernatural. By Mark Douglas, from Zasder Publishing.

You Never Die cover

Most people treat permanent death as a settled fact. You Never Die argues it does not actually follow from the materialist premises science already accepts — and that, followed strictly, those same premises imply your consciousness recurs. No faith required.

From the book

If you are an atheist, this book will show you that accepting materialism does not require accepting permanent death.
Part Two builds the theoretical framework: the vocabulary and concepts you need to think precisely about consciousness, identity, and survival.
If the atoms themselves are not what makes you you, then what does? This is the question that unlocks everything.
