Definitely want to check out some of these. "Reality Bubble" sounds like a good book to read now, since people have probably been feeling very disconnected from the rest of the world due to being stuck inside the past year.

@kristina_lynn 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I definitely read it at the right time since it does feel like this year has felt even more disconnected from reality than normal.

Oh my gosh the I think about stuff like the reality bubble all the time! I was watching a Dr come into work (I was working at a hospital at the time) with a brief case and I was like what are you doing what am I doing we could just be outside surviving like squirrels but we just made up this whole world. Anyways I then continued to walk to my office and type away. Definitely going to pick up the book. Thanks for the content!

There are some interesting sounding books in that lot. I like the sound of Irreplaceable and The Reality Bubble - 'we are made of stardust' is something Carl Sagan said a lot too, really interesting stuff.

Yeah, I totally got Cosmos vibes from The Reality Bubble now that I think about it.
