Fantastic book. It’s probably already been posted here but I want to call it out specifically because the moment that really grabbed the most attention for me was he talks about dreams. And how dreams are nested and another layer of the sim itself. His claim is that we would need the energy to compute the sim but that it’s probable based on the advancement of video games. Worth checking out.
Curious if you find it to be legitimate or rubbish. Would love to hear your thoughts if you've studied the theory.
Really good points made here and worth discussing.
Thought you all would find this useful. Several other articles as well as stewardship
I finished this a few weeks ago and was amazed by it. It ties right into what we talk about here. In short, every quantum possibility branches into its own parallel world. This leads to a vast multiverse of branching realities. He then explains how this explains space time.
If we are in a sim, this is basically the science behind it (from my own point of view). The audio book is free which is nice for this kind of book. For me at least, felt like I could grasp the concepts better.
So I’m starting to think that perhaps we do have realities that branch off and become nested into other sims. We are basically a sim within a sim from ancestry dna.
So I’ve been diving heavily into sci fi books mostly reading hard sci fi and then occasionally some works related to quantum mechanics, multi-verse theory, simulation theory, time travel, etc.
What I’d genuinely like to know is if I should start the culture series and pick up use of weapons OR if I should go with the Corey route first and start with Leviathan Wakes.
What’s making this even harder is I really want to read the player of games because a lot of people have recommended it but then I’d be starting the second book before the first.
But Expanse sounds so good too. I just know that once I start one I’ll want to finish the full set and not try to switch between the two.
What would you recommend especially knowing my reading interests?
There is a book called “The Interference” that dives thoroughly into things like neuralink but doesn’t name it that, it’s about neural implants with people hearing voices. Feels eerily like something that could happen. It is a hardsci fi / space colonization book that is based on a real US patent for remotely monitoring and altering brain waves (Malech patent, if you google it).
Anyway I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I’m finishing up the final chapter now but the overall theme without me giving you too many spoilers is this man previously had a neural interface that he ripped out and he’s sent to Mars to investigate others who are hearing voices. He’s ultimately torn about going but makes the decision and finds that there’s a mesh network, like a hive mind.
I don’t want to give too much away here because it would spoil a lot if you haven’t read it yet. But it has been a good read that was recommended by Brian Roemmelle on Twitter/X (500k follower tech guy), he said it was “brilliant” and I honestly felt the same throughout the read.
The pacing is very similar to Blake Crouch. It’s written by William Brown which has made me go down a complete rabbit hole now with unclassified docs.
Anyway, I read the book on kindle unlimited for free but there’s a paperback and I believe a hardcover too.
Anyone else here read it yet?
I don’t think I can post a link but I want to share the details.
There is a book called “The Interference” that dives thoroughly into things like neuralink but doesn’t name it that, it’s about neural implants with people hearing voices. This is exactly like the stuff all of us talk about on here. I could see this being our future where they tell us we need implants for “upgrading” then they shut the door and turn off the lights.

Anyone else here read it yet? And do you think this is our future? I do. I truly do.
