In an overpopulated world of exhausted resources ruled by the five major religions, people are asked to have faith in God while they slowly starve. With nothing to live for except famine and death, man is suddenly shown proof of an Afterlife and given the opportunity to go there. Would you?
The novel Afterlife attempts to answer this question and a more challenging ethical one:
Would it be okay to kill one person to save thousands? Many would say yes.
How about killing a billion people to save ten billion?
