Summary:
What if God was a bickering couple? That's just one of the provocative speculations in a book of short fiction a surprise hit last year called Sum: 40 Tales from the Afterlives. Another surprise: its author, David Eagleman, is a neuroscience researcher at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. When he can't test his ideas with experiments, he just writes them as fiction.
Then, the music industry is ailing, but an ambitious guitarist has hatched a genius new revenue model for struggling musicians. It's not enough to give your songs away for free on the internet: you have to pay the listeners. A satire by Scott Blaszak, featuring Pace Rommel. With voiceover by Mark Price and music by John Delore and Jay Frederick.
Finally, Jennifer Egan's new novel, A Visit from the Goon Squad, is a time-shifting collection of tales that weaves around the music industry. Egan explains why PowerPoint was the natural choice for a chapter about a 12-year old, and tells Kurt how her 9-year old son helped her develop a deep appreciation for Eminem.
