Award-winning war reporter Sebastian Junger has traveled to many front lines and frequently put his life at risk. The closest he’s come to his own death, however, occurred in the summer of 2020 when he was rushed to the hospital because of abdominal pain. Once there, he began slipping away and say has was visited by his dead father. This experience spurred Junger—a confirmed atheist raised by his physicist father to respect the empirical—to undertake a scientific, philosophical, and deeply personal examination of mortality and what happens after we die.
