100 Places to See After You Die: A Travel Guide to the Afterlife

Ken Jennings set out to chart the many worlds people expect to find after death. What he discovered is a time-traveling, culture-hopping itinerary that’s equal parts history lesson, folklore sampler, and pop‑culture mixtape. In one continuous talk, we’ll hop from Egyptian gates and Greek rivers to Tibetan mid‑journeys, Dante’s fiery spiral, and modern reboots like San Junipero. We’ll notice how each vision answers the same anxious questions—about justice, mercy, memory, and meaning—using the tools its people had at hand: spears or scrolls or servers. Most of all, we’ll keep our feet in this life, since every map of the next one points back to how we live now.

• Curious skeptics who love culture, myth, and big human questions

• Fans of witty, warm narrative who like travel writing with purpose

Ken Jennings is a New York Times bestselling author and quiz‑show legend whose curiosity has range. He’s written about maps, trivia, parenting myths, and comedy’s place in culture. In this book he plays travel guide, historian, and stand‑up host, moving lightly through heavy topics and finding the human thread that ties a Bronze Age tomb to a modern server farm. His default setting is wonder, and his punchlines land without losing the point.
