Céline Lafontaine, Montreal, La société postmortelle : la mort, l'individu et le lien social à l'ère des communications.
(Éditions du Seuil; distributed by Diffusion Dimédia) (ISBN 978-2-02-085953-0)

This book is an implacable argument for reconsidering our attitudes about the end of life and for empowering ourselves, not as beings dispossessed, but as reconciled with mortality and with the inherent solitude of the human condition, fully assumed until the end of life.
