  Simulated Lives: Are We Already Living in a Matrix? 
  Have you ever felt that reality is not quite what it seems? What if everything around you—your experiences, your beliefs, your very existence—is an intricate illusion, a sophisticated simulation crafted to keep you unaware and controlled? "Simulated Lives: Are We Already Living in a Matrix?" takes you on a deep, provocative journey into the possibility that our world is nothing more than a digital construct. This groundbreaking book is not just an exploration of the Simulation Hypothesis; it is a call to awaken from the slumber of the mind and reclaim your reality. 
  Drawing from cutting-edge scientific theories, philosophical insights, and the latest technological advancements, this book challenges the very fabric of our existence. Are we mere code in a cosmic program run by advanced civilizations, future humans, or artificial superintelligence? Are phenomena like déjà vu, the Mandela Effect, and quantum entanglement the glitches in a sophisticated digital system? Are AI, virtual reality, and augmented reality the first steps toward a deeper digital imprisonment? 
  With a compelling narrative, "Simulated Lives" leads you through the implications of living in a simulated reality, the battle for consciousness, and the ultimate revolution of awareness. This is not just a book; it is a manifesto for those who dare to question the nature of their existence, who seek to break free from the illusion, and who are ready to choose between freedom and control. 
  Are you prepared to take the red pill and see how deep the rabbit hole goes? Discover the truth and join the awakening.

  As the world recently commemorated the hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, our fascination with the pharaoh begs for a balanced view. Most recovered mummies have not escaped the modern trafficking in ancient bodies and body parts. The story of Ankh-Hap, a Ptolemaic-era mummy seized in the nineteenth century from the infamous mummy-pits of Egypt, provides a salutary example of what most mummies have endured. 
   
   
   
  Frank Holt makes use of a robust combination of scientific tools and archival research to tell the story of Ankh-Hap's life, death, and his mummified remains, which ended up in the back of an American college classroom. A Mystery from the Mummy-Pits takes the listener into a forgotten world of mummy trafficking by an American entrepreneur named Henry Augustus Ward. His company's shelves were stocked with mummies, coffins, and even ancient body parts. Customers could piece together their own "Frankenmummy" with authentic wrappings and amulets. 
   
   
   
  A Mystery from the Mummy-Pits contextualizes this information by surveying the history of similar mummies from antiquity to the twentieth century, moving from ancient tomb robbers and medieval apothecaries to modern dime museums, traveling shows, pulp fiction, films, and pop culture. The book offers listeners a glimpse inside a dark chapter of mummy history.

  The Democratic Marketplace - How...

  Elisa Herzog

  Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience―including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals. 
   
   
   
  The Democratic Marketplace theorizes the foundational structures of a democratic economy, in which markets are not just tools for maximizing profit via exploitation and extraction. To this end, employees are empowered to participate in corporate governance. Economic disparities are curbed so that citizens can negotiate their inevitable differences on a truly equal footing. And while a democratic economy need not eschew growth, it does renounce today's growth-at-all-costs expectations, instead balancing growth with goals like ecological sustainability and the preservation of time outside of work. 
   
   
   
  These are not utopian dreams, Herzog contends. The proposals that follow from the theory of democratic economics are already being tested around the world. And the shift in social norms that they necessitate is already under way.
