Description

God's Debris isn't a conventional book. It is written on three separate levels by Scott Adams, better known as the creator of the Dilbert comic. What is less known about Adams is that he's a trained hypnotist.

God's Debris is what happens when creativity and hypnosis intersect. On the surface, God's Debris is a simple fictional story of a delivery man who encounters an Avatar who knows literally everything. The Avatar reveals the truth about God, reality, science, probability, human perception, and even social success. Adams uses a writing trick to make the Avatar's answers appear more persuasive than they should be.

The second level of the book involves arguing with your friends about what parts the Avatar got wrong. Some of what the Avatar says is consistent with science, and some of it is pure fiction. See if you can tell which is which. You and your friends will come to very different conclusions.The third level of the book is the most provocative, but it won't have the same effect on all listeners. The story is designed as a very subtle hypnotic induction, with the intent of giving some (but not all) listeners the sensation that the Avatar's words actually contain the wisdom of the universe.

For some listeners, especially those under 30, God's Debris can be a mind altering experience. Fair Warning: Because of the hypnotic writing style, listeners tend to have strong reactions to the work. If you are in the top 5% of the population in terms of scientific knowledge, or philosophical reading, there's a good chance you will have an angry reaction to God's Debris. But if you are more of a seeker than a know-it-all, your experience could be something special.

Trippy & WooWooish Ride

There are a lot of people who criticize the poor scientific examples in God's Debris, but I think they are missing the point of the story as a thought exercise. Yes, the bad grasp of scientific theories (f***** magnets how do they work? -ICP) will cause many people to roll their eyes, but what's more important are the overall ideas. It's a short story to try and get us to ask if we can be sure of anything and to put you in a mindstate that is open to deconstructing ideas we take for granted.Does it stand up to scrutiny? I don't think it matters. It's an interesting 2.5 hour philosophical ride.

Thoughtful Debris

Adams did a great job clearly explaining the thought experiments - there’s a whole bunch in the book - the headings of the book make it easy to navigate! The ideas were refreshing and refutes the so called common sense we carry around to navigate the world. Some concepts are contradictory and presume on too much at times. Essentially, he talks about faulty thinking, the importance of context, probability and some physics which left me re-reading a couple times. If you feel like he’s going too fast with the concepts, slow down the reading speed to 0.75x! Totally can read this in one go!
