From one of the world's most engaging science journalists, a groundbreaking and wonder-filled look at the hidden things that shape our lives in unexpected and sometimes dangerous ways.

Our naked eyes see only a thin sliver of reality.

We are blind in comparison to the X-rays that peer through skin, the mass spectrometers that detect the dead inside the living, or the high-tech surveillance systems that see with artificial intelligence.

And we are blind compared to the animals that can see in infrared, or ultraviolet, or in 360-degree vision. These animals live in the same world we do, but they see something quite different when they look around.

With all of the curiosity and flair that drives her broadcasting, Ziya Tong illuminates this hidden world, and takes us on a journey to examine ten of humanity's biggest blind spots.

First, we are introduced to the blind spots we are all born with, to see how technology reveals an astonishing world that exists beyond our human senses. It is with these new ways of seeing that today's scientists can image everything from an atom to a black hole.

In Section Two, our collective blind spots are exposed. It's not that we can't see, Tong reminds us. It's that we don't. In the 21st century, there are cameras everywhere, except where our food comes from, where our energy comes from, and where our waste goes. Being in the dark when it comes to how we survive makes it impossible to navigate our future.

Lastly, the scope widens to our civilizational blind spots. Here, the blurred lens of history reveals how we inherit ways of thinking about the world that seem natural or inevitable but are in fact little more than traditions, ways of seeing the world that have come to harm it.

This vitally important new book shows how science, and the curiosity that drives it, can help civilization flourish by opening our eyes to the landscape laid out before us. Fast-paced, utterly fascinating, and deeply humane, The Reality Bubble gives voice to the sense we've all had -- that there is more to the world than meets the eye.

This book was extremely well written and planned. Everything that is said in the book came from a very factual perspective and is 100% relevant to our current times. It is so important to understand our role on earth and in mankind! There were a few spots in the book where the information was overwhelming, but I'm convinced this was the case because it was challenging my worldviews and asking me to be more open minded about how the world is currently operating. Recommend this to anyone living on earth right now.

This is the most important book to hear right now

interesting book but a great overview of various topics, from philosophy of science to climate change. Not at all a hard book. Possible a bit boring for those with good overall knowledge in science but with some interesting chapters even for those.

very interesting overview

I've listened to this book three times. Not only is it full of interesting and awe-inspiring information about the world, it is exceptionally well-written and the narrator (the author) is the best I've heard in any audible book - expressive, upbeat, beautiful tone to her voice. I loved it and would recommend it to any thinking person who wants to gain a deeper and broader perspective on life and the world around us.

LOVED this book!

Provides a view of our blind spots and a more realistic perspective that is not so erogante. It provides some insight on the worlds true questions we should pose and seek answers to and work towards solving. It also provides an interesting view of science for those that may be skeptical.

A book everyone the world over should read.

What a fascinating listen. I'll never think the same about electricity, meat, ownership, time, sight, space, pollution and so many other topics of every day life. I got this on sale or included in membership, but would be well worth full price or credit. It's an enlightening education on biological, societal and civilizational blind spots.

Learned every minute of it
