5.0 out of 5 starsa hole in the wall through which your mind can escape
By Michael Herman on June 8, 2006
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK, and constantly recommend it to everybody I know...

Imagine that we had the ability to create a virtual reality universe in a computer, a universe populated by people who have thoughts, dreams, feelings, etc., and produce societies, religions, wars, and inventions. Now, take this a step further and imagine that the people in this virtual reality invent yet another computer universe. If our virtual model can create another virtual model, what's to say that we're the original?

This is one of the philosophical riddles that Ramsey Dukes investigates in Words Made Flesh, which is a mindbender of a book that has the potential to make your view of life infinitely more interesting. Instead of asking questions about what a virtual world would be like, it encounters how our experience of life would change if we realized that we ourselves are in a virtual world. This possibility has exciting similarities to religious perspectives of Buddhism, Hinduism, Gnosticism, Christianity and others, which identify our material world as an illusory place where our souls take temporary residence in physical bodies.

While the philosophical possibilities of virtual reality form the backbone of the book, the main emphasis of the book is Dukes examination of the way different world views affect our experience of the world... how deeply people can saturate themselves with a particular belief system, and how vividly they experience the world in this way. Some people vividly experience the world as a battle between God and the devil, and every thought and action is weighed against this background.Read more ›

okay...
dear citizens of the matrix,
... we confess we didn't actually remember this particular book till we read the other reviews. It is our least favorite book by Ramsey Dukes and yet, we still recommend it because like everything else he has written it is original, inventive and more often than not, clever and sometimes hilarious. Ramsey Dukes has an innovative mind, and approaches life and the magic of life in ways that few considered until reading him. He is always worth reading.
kyela,
