About this title

Synopsis

What if everything you know and experience is nothing more than an incredibly sophisticated computer simulation? This fascinating question has captivated philosophers and scientists for decades and is known as simulation theory or the simulation hypothesis. In clear and accessible language, this book introduces readers to simulation theory and guides them through this compelling concept that we may be living in an advanced virtual reality world.

The book explains simulation theory in depth, covering historical context and philosophical underpinnings while evaluating arguments for and against the possibility that a more advanced posthuman civilization has modeled our reality. It explores variations like ancestor simulations, Matrix-like simulations, and quantum simulations. With an emphasis on the scientific angle, the book discusses quantum physics experiments that challenge our assumptions about reality and tackles existential implications like free will and meaning in a simulated world.

Approachable even for complete beginners, the book breaks down complex ideas around physics, metaphysics, technology, and artificial intelligence as they relate to the simulation concept. Examples and analogies make the theory easy to follow for general readers. The book also analyzes competing philosophies from luminaries like Nick Bostrom, Elon Musk, and Neil deGrasse Tyson regarding the probability that we exist inside an intricate simulation.
