Time of Passage

Joseph D. Olander

4/5 ( ratings)

What is death? Is it annihilation and oblivion? Is it the end of life as we know it and the beginning of another type of existence? Just when tremendous advances in the biological sciences have brought us to the brink of immortality, shall we discover that death is in fact a gift in disguise? Speculation about death has existed since the dawn of human development as a species. Since science fiction writers deal with all aspects of the human condition, it is not surprising that many distinguished SF authors have treated death and dying in their stories. Themes of immortality, euthanasia, suicide, reincarnation, the process of aging, the technological versus spiritual death are treated in this superb collection.
