Welcome to Our Real Matrix: One with No Escape

Product Description

Did you know that we (and all life) are unknowingly imprisoned? That your perception of Reality has little to do with the truth? In these ways, our existence is like the virtual reality in the movie,
The Matrix.

The differences are more overwhelming, including that our Real Matrix emerged through abiogenesis and evolution processes without intention nor direction (i.e., no sentient machines), and that there is no escape through taking a Red Pill.

Welcome to Our Real Matrix proves all this using accepted science taken to its logical conclusion. It then explores the consequences of this truth and the possible paths for how and why to live this life, including the philosophies of Stoicism, Buddhism, and Existentialism. Finally, it introduces a community, the Purplepills Society, that has been established to continue the scientific and philosophical discussion.

Review

“A powerful argument that will leave some readers questioning everything. The transparency of the writer – including his personal beliefs, qualifications, and thought processes – gives the writing ample credibility; Arant is trying to make a point, but not push an agenda. This book takes readers on a comprehensive and unpredictable route through science, philosophy, and the history of cognition. Regardless of your level of expertise, there are brilliant gems of insight within these pages, and a compelling argument for challenging the paradigm of our shared reality.” Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★½

About the Author

Tom Arant is not a scientist, which is a strength rather than a weakness in writing this book. Popular science is a subject he has always read avidly in, and this book is a natural extension of that interest. He has a background working in economics, systems analysis, and transformation consulting for major manufacturing companies. He applies the deep analysis, writing, and presentation skills he developed to solve clients’ data and process challenges to the existential topic he explores here.
