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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52204978929975,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":177.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780241320716-1.jpg?v=1784960381","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780241320716","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
