What this book is about
Andy Weir's brief philosophical short story presents a conversation between a man who has just died and God — who reveals that every human being who has ever lived is the same soul, living every life sequentially, destined to become something more. The Egg is one of the most-shared short stories of the internet age, exploring reincarnation, empathy, and cosmic purpose in a few pages.
