Simulation theory – to the exteme!

WOW! I absolutely love this style of audiobook that Jeremy puts out. And by style, I am referencing simulation theory which brings into question the very nature of our reality/being. Following Infinite and Alter along this timeline, I absolutely loved this book as it really hit home on a theory I’ve believed since my teenage years.

The ways in which Jeremy introduced the concept of reality were astounding in this novel. The nature of non-player characters that serve as a sort of automated response or guidance mechanism for the real people in our world really gets you thinking. How do you know that the person working the register at your local store continues to exist after you’ve left? How do you know their world doesn’t pick up as soon as you have them in your sight/realm of influence again?

This was a book that I can see being troubling to the more devoted religious readers out there. The story paints a reality that really makes you question how we know what we know to be real.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thinking about the nature of reality, that really makes you introspective about your world, that really makes you stop and think. Kaffer and Bray did an awesome job tag-teaming this novel. This book ranks right up there in the top five audiobooks that I’ve listened to, Robinson’s Infinite being another.
