Description
Brought to you by Penguin. In the coming decades, the technology that enables virtual and augmented reality will improve beyond recognition.
Within a century, world-renowned philosopher David J.
Chalmers predicts, we will have virtual worlds that are impossible to distinguish from non-virtual worlds.
But is virtual reality just escapism? In a highly original work of 'technophilosophy', Chalmers argues categorically, no: virtual reality is genuine reality.
Virtual worlds are not second-class worlds. We can live a meaningful life in virtual reality - and increasingly, we will. What is reality, anyway? How can we lead a good life? Is there a god? How do we know there's an external world - and how do we know we're not living in a computer simulation?
In Reality+, Chalmers conducts a grand tour of philosophy, using cutting-edge technology to provide invigorating new answers to age-old questions. Drawing on examples from pop culture, literature and film that help bring philosophical issues to life, Reality+ is a mind-bending journey through virtual worlds, illuminating the nature of reality and our place within it. © David J.
