About the book
A book presenting a scientific theory that our perceptions of reality are not a window onto an objective world but a simplified, evolved interface shaped by natural selection to guide adaptive behavior. It uses evolutionary game theory and cognitive science to argue that spacetime and physical objects are not fundamental.
