520    The Simulation Hypothesis, by best-selling author, 
       renowned MIT computer scientist, and Silicon Valley video 
       game designer Rizwan Virk, explains one of the most daring
       and consequential theories of our time. Drawing from 
       research and concepts from computer science, artificial 
       intelligence, video games, quantum physics, and 
       referencing both speculative fiction and ancient eastern 
       spiritual texts, Virk shows how all of these traditions 
       come together to point to the idea that we may be inside a
       simulated reality like the Matrix. 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, 
       where we all have multiple lives, consisting of pixels 
       with its own internal clock run by some giant Artificial 
       Intelligence. Simulation theory explains some of the 
       biggest mysteries of quantum and relativistic physics, 
       such as quantum indeterminacy, parallel universes, and the
       integral nature of the speed of light. "There's a one in a
       billion chance we are not living in a simulation." (Elon 
       Musk) "I find it hard to argue we are not in a 
       simulation." (Neil deGrasse Tyson) "We are living in 
       computer generated reality." (Philip K. Dick) Video game 
       designer Riz Virk shows how the history and evolution of 
       our video games, including virtual reality, augmented 
       reality, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing 
       could lead us to the point of being able to develop all-
       encompassing virtual worlds like the Oasis in Ready Player
       One, or the simulated reality in The Matrix. While the 
       idea sounds like science fiction, many scientists, 
       engineers, and professors have given the simulation 
       hypothesis serious consideration. But the simulation 
       hypothesis is not just a modern idea. Philosophers and 
       mystics of all traditions have long contended that we are 
       living in some kind of "illusion" and that there are other
       realities which we can access with our minds. 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, and you will never look at the world the same way 
       again!
