The basic premise is that nearing the point of death, you actually never die and the brain gushes with glutamate, as it did once before, during birth, and you re-live your current life again in a virtual reality generated by the brain (or something else) - a Groundhog Day existence, so to speak. This is due to the fact that time dilates and you literally enter a time-less state or at least a state where time is near endless. This is alluded to by the way your perception of time changes dramatically throughout your life for one reason or another - dreaming, playing, getting bored, endangered, excited, sad and so on. Dropping out of time is what Peake calls it.

This is Peake's second book and in some ways I think it's more important than his first. His first, 'Is There Life After Death?' looked at the physics of what must happen to you when you die. His second, 'The Daemon' brings on some interesting ideas about what you can do about it before it happens.

SASHA GREY SPEAKS

http://www.dailynexus.com/article.php?a=18486

Editor’s Note: This letter was submitted to us by Sasha Grey, the porn star and soon-to-be lead actress in Steven Soderbergh’s newest film, “The Girlfriend Experience.” Having starred in over 150 adult films, Grey won the “2007 AVN Award” for Best Three-Way Sex Scene for her role in the film “Fuck Slaves.” Musically involved as well, she released her first album - inspired by industrial music - titled “AVigillant Carpark” in December 2008. After reading about herself in two editions of the “Wednesday Hump,” Grey decided to send in a response. The following is her unedited letter.

Some New Kind of Slaughter

http://www.comicsbulletin.com/reviews/123643262947843.htm

Some New Kind of Slaughter is not an ultra-violent horror comic. Just thought I’d open with that, you know, just to get it out of the way. No, it’s actually a very intelligent collection and retelling of several flood myths from around the world.

Some New Kind of Slaughter is something special. It may not be right for everyone, but for those who apperciate a smart and meaningful comic every once and a while, this is a great comic. Honestly, if I hadn’t received a copy from mpMann himself, I probably wouldn’t have ever seen this. I’m glad I got a chance to read it. I would highly recommend Some New Kind of Slaughter to anyone; whether or not they listen is up to them.
