"Warraich's elegant and poignant book takes us on an unforgettable journey....He succeeds in humanizing a complex topic." --Siddhartha Mukherjee, New York Times bestselling author of The GeneThere is no more universal truth in life than death. No matter who you are, it is certain that one day you will die, but the mechanics and understanding of that experience will differ greatly in today's modern age. Dr. Haider Warraich is a young and brilliant new voice in the conversation about death and dying.

Beyond its ecology, epidemiology, and economics, the very ethos of death has changed.
