四個死亡故事

The awareness of mortality is a uniquely human burden, sparking a deep urge to deny death through powerful stories. Studies show that when people are reminded of death, they become much more willing to believe in ideas of immortality, whether spiritual or scientific. Across history and cultures, four main types of stories promise ways to escape death, from magical elixirs to digital afterlives. Recognizing these patterns may help loosen their grip and inspire a fuller embrace of the life between our personal bookends.
