SHORTLISTED FOR THE PHYSICS WORLD BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 'One of the deepest and most original thinkers of his generation of cognitive scientists. His startling argument has implications for philosophy, science, and how we understand the world around us' Steven Pinker 'Is reality virtual? It's a question made even more interesting by this book' Barbara Kiser, Nature Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design. Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.

Can we trust our senses to tell us the truth? Challenging leading scientific theories that claim that our senses report back objective reality, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman argues that while we should take our perceptions seriously, we should not take them literally. From examining why fashion designers create clothes that give the illusion of a more “attractive” body shape to studying how companies use color to elicit specific emotions in consumers, and even dismantling the very notion that spacetime is objective reality, The Case Against Reality dares us to question everything we thought we knew about the world we see.

"On December 20, 1989, George Bush, the President of the United States, ordered a military invasion of Panama. One of his stated aims was the capture and return of General Manuel Antonio Noriega, the leader of Panama, to stand trial in the United States. American prosecutors had accused Noriega of trafficking in illegal drugs and money laundering. Not since ancient Rome had one nation launched an invasion of another with the goal of bringing its ruler to justice. But was justice served?" "The Case Against the General is the full, untold story of Manuel Noriega's capture and trial. Reporter Steve Albert, granted unusual access by both defense and prosecution, brings to life the theatrical dynamics of a court case unique in the annals of American jurisprudence." "Was Noriega a criminal, properly subject to trial under American law, or was he a prisoner of war as he claimed? Was the U.S. government right to limit Noriega's access to classified information he believed vital to his defense? Was the United States justified in freezing Noriega's assets? Imbued with a deep understanding of the constitutional issues that this singular trial raises, the Case Against the General is high-stakes courtoom drama at its most compelling."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
