Simulated Lives: Are We Already Living in a Matrix? (2nd Edition, EPUB)

What if reality is the greatest illusion ever built, and you've never once suspected it?

Simulated Lives is a gripping, accessible journey into one of the boldest questions of our time: are we living inside a simulation? This is the fully Revised & Expanded Second Edition by Ciro Irmici.

From Plato and Baudrillard to simulation theory, quantum physics, virtual reality and AI, the book lays out the arguments, the evidence and the anomalies, and asks what it would mean for your life if the answer were yes.

Inside you'll explore:

• The philosophy of the unreal, from Plato to Baudrillard
• Simulation theory, where science meets speculation
• Quantum mechanics and the idea of a holographic universe
• Glitches in the Matrix: the evidence and the anomalies
• Consciousness, virtual reality and AI, and the choice between freedom and illusion

Curious, thought-provoking and never dry: a book for anyone who has ever looked around and wondered.
