Virtual reality is genuine reality; that's the central thesis of
Reality+. In a highly original work of "technophilosophy," David J.
Chalmers gives a compelling analysis of our technological future.
He argues that virtual worlds are not second-class worlds, and that
we can live a meaningful life in virtual reality. We may even be in
a virtual world already. Along the way, Chalmers conducts a grand
tour of big ideas in philosophy and science. He uses virtual
reality technology to offer a new perspective on long-established
philosophical questions. How do we know that there's an external
world? Is there a god? What is the nature of reality? What's the
relation between mind and body? How can we lead a good life? All of
these questions are illuminated or transformed by Chalmers'
mind-bending analysis. Studded with illustrations that bring
philosophical issues to life, Reality+ is a major statement that
will shape discussion of philosophy, science, and technology for
years to come.
