Written by well-known Silicon Valley entrepreneur and MIT-educated computer scientist Rizwan Virk, The Simulation Hypothesis brings together disparate fields to explore one of the most daring and consequential theories of our time: The Simulation Hypothesis. Whether you are a computer scientist, a fan of science fiction like the Matrix movies, a video game enthusiast, or a spiritual seeker, The Simulation Hypothesis touches on all these areas. The Simulation Hypothesis is the idea that our physical reality, far from being a solid physical universe, is part of an increasingly sophisticated video game-like simulation, consisting of pixels with its own internal clock.In the Simulation Hypothesis, the mysteries of quantum science, the path of artificially intelligent consciousness, the evolution of VR and quantum computers, along with previously taboo subjects like consciousness and karma, are brought together into a cohesive, information-based computer science framework. Leading figures like Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have advocated the Simulation Hypothesis. For the first time, the Simulation Hypothesis delves into all the angles that make this remarkable theory one of the most important of our time!
Industry Reviews
"MIT Scientist's Simulation Hypothesis Makes Compelling Case For the Matrix --The Next Web
"Those looking to expand their brains for a few hours should enjoy this cerebral work. A well-crafted discussion of simulation that is unexpectedly persuasive." --Kirkus Reviews
"The Simulation Hypothesis presents a radical alternative to current models of reality ...The result is a stunning reappraisal of what it means to be human in an infinite universe." --Jacques Vallée, venture capitalist and author of Forbidden Science.
"This book lays out both the technical aspects of computer simulation and the mystical reasons why we can take Philip K. Dick seriously when he proposed that we are living in a computer-generated reality. His vision that this world is not quite real informed much of his science fiction. This book explains that idea from scientific and religious perspectives." --Tessa B. Dick, author of Conversations with Philip K. Dick
"In this brilliant integrative work, Riz Virk astutely tackles ideas ranging from Dream Yoga to computational irreducibility, weaving together the disciplines of modern quantum physics, computer science, probability theory, artificial intelligence, and mysticism. " --Thomas Brophy, PhD physics, Co-President, California Institute for Human Science, author of Black Genesis: The Prehistoric Origins of Ancient Egypt
