With the rise of Virtual Reality and breakthroughs in quantum physics, understanding the underpinnings of our reality has never been more relevant.

Story
In Your Brain Is a Time Machine, brain researcher and best-selling author Dean Buonomano draws on evolutionary biology, physics, and philosophy to present his influential theory of how we tell and perceive time. The human brain, he argues, is a complex system that not only tells time but creates it; it constructs our sense of chronological flow and enables "mental time travel" - simulations of future and past events.

Beginning with opium, the “joy plant,” which has been used for 10,000 years, Thomas Hager tells a captivating story of medicine. His subjects include the largely forgotten female pioneer who introduced smallpox inoculation to Britain, the infamous knockout drops, the first antibiotic, which saved countless lives, the first antipsychotic, which helped empty public mental hospitals, Viagra, statins, and the new frontier of monoclonal antibodies. This is a deep, wide-ranging, and wildly entertaining book.

Nearly everyone is familiar with holograms - three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Two of the world's most eminent thinkers believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. University of London physicist David Bohm, one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, an architect of our modern understanding of the brain, have developed a remarkable new way of looking at the universe.

Our understanding of the Universe is about to transform at all levels, from the Planck scale to the vast reaches of space. Recent scientific discoveries show that the information that upholds all of our modern technologies is exactly the same as the universal in-formation that underpins, pervades, and is all we call physical reality. Exploring how information is more fundamental than energy, matter, space, or time, Jude Currivan examines the latest research across many fields of study and many scales of existence to show how our Universe is in-formed and holographically manifested.

Story
In a field known for startling ideas, the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics may take the prize. It holds that parallel to our own world are a large number of other universes, almost identical to ours but with small variations. Copies of each of us inhabit a myriad of these worlds. But they are not us exactly; they share our past history, but they are different people who have unique futures. Although these realms are invisible and can’t communicate with each other, prominent physicists are convinced they must exist.

Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

I'm rethinking reality...
This audiobook really opened my eyes to the whole simulation theory thing. It's laid out in a way that's easy to grasp, even for someone who's not a science whiz. Makes you look at the world a bit differently, wondering if we're all just part of a big digital game... Definitely worth a listen for anyone who likes their mind blown.

Wonderfully crafted and well executed piece of art
Simulation theory is a go to right now without delay. This author intelligently explains and bridges the gap between the virtual and reality and how this can help bring us into context with the life we live in today's world. This is a much listen book and so nicely recited that once one starts listening there is no room to stop.

Different perspectives on a relevant topic
This is the most interesting book that I didn't know I would love. I enjoy listening to all different kinds of books. When I came across this one I didn't really know what it was all about, but it looked interesting. And it was! With the rise of AI and technological advances happening so quickly, it raises a lot of questions. What should we do with AI? What does it mean for our normal lives? Or, our NEW normal lives? I like how this book gave different perspectives on the topic. It really made me think.

Incredible to fathom
I love how this book makes you consider so many possibilities outside your normal understanding of the world and of our existence. It provides a detailed look at the arguments both for and against the possibility that we are currently living in a simulation created by an advanced society capable of simulating consciousness. What a fascinating journey of mind-bending possibilities.

Very Informative
I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Beyond being informative, it captivated my interest with its intriguing content. I appreciated how the author justified the differences between reality and virtual experiences, with clear and understandable explanations throughout. The key points were effectively conveyed, addressing our curiosities and sparking further understanding. It's an excellent starting point to learn more about this topic.

got me hooked from the start!
This audiobook dives deep into the whole tangled mess of our existence. It covers philosophy, science, and pop culture, taking you on a super interesting trip where it takes apart what reality is. It's awesome at explaining tricky stuff in a simple way for newbies but still drops some serious knowledge bombs for those who already know a bit. It connects Elon Musk's cool ideas with mind-blowing quantum physics discoveries, making a super cool mash-up of mind-bending arguments that'll keep you thinking way after you've finished listening. I like this cool journey that messes with your thoughts and makes you want to peek behind the curtain of what we think is real.
