We Live in a Computer Game: The Universe is a Computer Simulation

What if reality is not as solid as it seems? In The Simulated Multiverse, MIT computer scientist Rizwan Virk takes us on a mind-bending journey to explore the possibility that we inhabit not just a simulated world, but a simulated multiverse. Building on his previous work, The Simulation Hypothesis, Virk integrates insights from cutting-edge science, science fiction, and even Eastern mysticism to challenge our most fundamental assumptions about existence.

Drawing inspiration from science fiction visionary Philip K. Dick and his radical ideas about computer-programmed reality and remembering alternate timelines, the book delves into the perplexing nature of parallel universes, the latest findings in quantum computing, and the widespread phenomenon of the Mandela Effect. By examining concepts like the Multiverse Graph and the Core Loop through the lens of computer science and video game architecture, Virk offers a new framework for understanding multiple timelines and the very fabric of reality itself.

Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about the past, present, and future.
