Science Reality

Biohacker Olivia Park is obsessed with an emerging mystery within Oz, the online portal created by alien technology.

What if everything you've ever known—every thought, every emotion, every moment—was part of a simulation? Once dismissed as science fiction, the Simulation Hypothesis has surged into mainstream discussion, embraced by philosophers, physicists, and tech visionaries alike. As computing power soars and virtual realities grow more immersive, the idea that our universe might itself be a simulation becomes less absurd—and more plausible. But if we are in a simulation, the next question is both thrilling and unsettling: Who—or what—is running it? And why?

What if you could 10x your achievements in health, wealth, and relationships? What if you were only months away from launching a new business, getting six pack abs, or falling deeply in love? New York Times best-selling author Kevin Kruse presents the secret science of goal-setting practices (and no, it has nothing to do with smart goals). Based on hundreds of scientific studies and interviews with self-made millionaires, athletes, top sales professionals, and straight-A students, Kruse answers the question: how do the most successful people set and achieve their goals?

This book is not here to comfort you. It does not promise hope, progress, or some tender reassurance about the nobility of the human project. It will not tell you that everything happens for a reason, or that there is meaning to be found in our collective struggle. Instead, it stands firmly within the logic of Jean Baudrillard’s simulacra—a philosophy that does not seek to reveal a hidden truth, but to diagnose the condition of our reality. We no longer live in the world; we live within our own perception of it.

The new arms race is to connect to the most markets.

We can’t avoid the persistent questions about the meaning of life—and the nature of reality. But science is the only means of answering them. So declares philosopher Alex Rosenberg in this bracing, surprisingly sanguine take on a world without god. The science that makes us nonbelievers, he demonstrates, tells us the nature of reality, the purpose of everything, the difference between right and wrong, how the mind works, even the direction of human history.
