So Heaven by Isagani R. Cruz

Danny Livingstone is dead but doesn’t know it–until he’s face to face with his first and only love–Emily Dickinson. The e-publishing magnate is offered the manuscript of his dreams–Dickinson’s poems as she originally wrote them, but first, the Lord has a task for him. Danny must save Annie, a gifted Filipino doctor, from committing suicide after the love of her life is tempted into marrying a billionaire. In his race to save the life of the doctor destined to discover a cure for cancer, Danny is assisted by other famous writers: Rizal, who contributes deep insights on human nature–and the occasional prank–and Shakespeare, who draws from the writings attributed to him to warn Danny of all possible consequences. 

Set in the future, So Heaven gives us a glimpse of a hi-tech Philippines where the worst slum areas have been transformed into luxury developments. With all that is weird, wacky, and woke, it wittily observes the obsessions of our times.
