THE REALITY BUBBLE

A ground-breaking and wonder-filled look at the hidden things that shape our lives in unexpected and sometimes dangerous ways – for readers of Super-Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, Factfulness by Hans Rosling, and Yuval Noah Harari

Tong shows us how a multitude of blind spots, some innate and some learned, distort our perception of reality and endanger our very survival. She explains how we live in a bubble, oblivious to the workings of the real world that are conveniently hidden from plain sight. Blending captivating science and entertaining ideas, The Reality Bubble is a cross between The Matrix and the science series Cosmos. It is a unique and urgent work of non-fiction that promises to open our eyes, expand our view of the world, and disrupt hardened ideas, allowing us to question what surrounds us, what sustains us, and perhaps most importantly, what controls us.

Vitally important, fast-paced, and deeply humane, The Reality Bubble is perfect for readers of Super-Freakonomics, Factfulness , and Yuval Noah Harari.
