From one of our leading thinkers a dazzling philosophical journey through virtual worlds 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.
