Reality+
From one of our leading thinkers, a dazzling philosophical journey through virtual worlds In the coming decades, the technology that enables virtual and augmented reality will improve beyond recognition. 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? In 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. What 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. Drawing 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.

True Lies
TRUE LIES is a book that attempts to counter the culture and the lies that the media is sending our young generation today, messages about sex, substance abuse, violence, and suicide. These "lies" as Chalmers calls them are having a major impact on today's young people, as they begin to believe these lies as truth. The effects are evident, with the high rates of suicide, violence, homicide, self-abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, and a general feeling of hopelessness among young people today. Chalmers not only dismantles these lies, but also addresses other important topics that are close to his heart, like bullying, crime prevention, and internet safety. Chalmers passionately addresses t...
Constructing the World
David Chalmers develops a picture of reality on which all truths can be derived from a limited class of basic truths. The picture is inspired by Rudolf Carnap's construction of the world in Der Logische Aufbau Der Welt. Carnap's Aufbau is often seen as a noble failure, but Chalmers argues that a version of the project can succeed. With the right basic elements and the right derivation relation, we can indeed construct the world. The focal point of Chalmers' project is scrutability: the thesis that ideal reasoning from a limited class of basic truths yields all truths about the world. Chalmers first argues for the scrutability thesis and then considers how small the base can be. The result is...

FARSIS is the story of a man who awakens upon another world in the midst of a vast primeval forest. He at first cannot remember who he is or how he came to be in such an unfamiliar environment. For many months his existence is a struggle for survival against nature, but not against the nature of which we are familiar. Here the strength and vitality of every life form, both of flora and fauna, are necessarily enhanced. For Farsis is a heavy gravity world. But our protagonist does survive, even thrives. Eventually he becomes a member of a warlike tribe of primitive humans, finding companionship and in time even love. Saved from captivity by the selfless courage of his mate, he leads them to victory over a more advanced, but predatory, race and helps to unify his adopted people into a stronger, more civilized society, but without destroying the basic characteristics of their culture.
