‘Snap back to reality’ is a set of 17 big questions and answers centering on the human experience of fundamental existence, reality, physics, emergence, knowledge and consciousness. It explores the nature of emergence, the limits of knowledge and the future of humans and offers definitive answers from leading edge basic science to how the world really works, what it is ultimately made of, what time is and whether mathematics is real.

What is reality, why is there something rather than nothing and what are we doing here? These used to be considered philosophical or metaphysical questions, but huge inroads have been made in finding scientific answers in the last decades. This book is about fundamental answers, about getting close to the end of a regression of ‘whys’ to a point where no further explanations are required.

The author’s unique approach cuts directly to the chase in answering these big questions. There is no history of physics or build-up of arguments or personalities, just answers where we have them or the best formulated questions where we don’t. The perspective is one more of analytical philosophy than popular science but always with clear cut positions on the issues. Rarely has a book come along that draws only on leading edge big science to describe what the world is really like and how we experience it. The conclusions drawn are always thought provoking and in some cases controversial.

The core audience for this book is anyone who wants their core beliefs about reality and what we are doing here developed or even fundamentally revised. For the time poor, short attention span audience, who want quick answers, this book will certainly change the view of everyone who reads it. Every ten minutes spent reading will yield powerful new insights.
