The BookViral Review:
In a mind-bending investigation into the nature of reality, Tom Arant invites his readers to dive headlong into the proverbial rabbit hole with arguments that are intellectually rigorous and worryingly convincing!
We take for granted the idea that we journey through life, inhabiting a world that’s real, as the lead character in our own biopic but in taking The Matrix as his inspiration Arant has taken a subject most people would dismiss as pure science fiction and produced a brilliant and very readable investigation that posits “that we (and all life) are unknowingly imprisoned”.
Intent on extending our sense of the real, Arant’s central idea, that “there is more to reality than we thought”, is seductive as he tackles complex theory in a lively and informative manner. This buttressed by extensive research and interpretation as he lays out his radical theory of our invented reality with accessible and compelling writing.
Are we real? Are we living in a simulation? Researchers have explored this possibility in academia, and since the release of The Matrix in 1999 the idea regularly rides the waves of public consciousness but science is not and never has been about certainty. Arant is ever cognizant of this and whilst he presents Welcome to Our Real Matrix: One With No Escape as “a one-stop shopping guide to help you along a journey of understanding,” he suggests three options for reading it which is particularly helpful for those who don’t want to delve too heavily into biochemistry, abiogenesis and evolution.
Indeed, perhaps the only question Arant’s readers need to ask is whether they really want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes. But then, what do any of us have to lose but our illusions?
No matter how readers choose to read Arant’s book he has deftly woven the biological, philosophical and personal with a lucid clarity and coherence that is both highly thought-provoking and enjoyable to read. A five-star release from Arant, Welcome to Our Real Matrix: One With No Escape is unreservedly recommended.
Few fantasy writers demonstrate Thomas’ narrative range and The Unifier packs in impressive world-building, superb characterization and original magical constructs in a novel little over 300 pages long as Thomas reminds us why the Sword and Sorcery Fantasy genre remains unerringly popular.
Ololade Ejembibia’s relatable and wise poetry makes for an interesting and thought-provoking read. Added to this, the timbre and resonance of her words form verse which is quite simply a joy to read.
Pitching the rhetoric at just the right point between the believable and the unbelievable compels the reader to continue, and forces them to ponder on possible political realities of the future.
Will reading be ‘a thing’ in the distant future? And what does it mean for writers of fiction? More importantly, what are we collectively doing to keep reading alive?
There’s an old saying that readers come for a story but stay for the author! And that means build great websites that make potential readers want to stay!
Whether it be a spine-tingling ghost story, the sighting of a UFO, stories of Gods and Deities, or the fascination of the occult, most of us are curious in one way or another about the supernatural.
