5.0

Wonderful read. Postmortal Society is well organized and split into 11 chapters, each chapter short enough to be digestible but long enough to be informative. While the book is mostly Western centric, many of the authors do well in acknowledging the limited perspective. The book made sure to bring up many relevant topics when talking about death and immortality, such as the proliferation of death commodification, symbolic immortality, and the existence of death and immortality in a new, technology-based world.
