  The subject is topical, and the author’s angle is provocative, but not contrarian. Acknowledges many of the environmental concerns, but also note that some plastics are not as bad compared to some of the alternatives. Interesting detail about the people behind the invention of plastic. Will appeal to fans of popular science and those with interest in environmental issues.

  Welcome to a journey through the depths of space and time, a voyage into the heart of the cosmos, and an exploration of the most profound mysteries our universe holds. This is a book about cosmology—a science that unveils the grandeur of the universe, its history, its structure, and its deepest secrets. It's a journey through the vast expanses of space, where galaxies collide, stars are born and die, and black holes lurk in cosmic shadows. But it's also a journey through the frontiers of human knowledge and imagination, where the quantum world meets the cosmic expanse. 
  In these pages, we'll embark on an odyssey to understand the universe from its earliest moments to its potential far-off future. We'll delve into the mind-bending concept of cosmic inflation, a theory that suggests the universe underwent a rapid expansion in the tiniest fraction of a second after its birth, and explore the idea that our universe might be just one of countless others within a vast multiverse. 
  But our journey doesn't stop there. We'll also peer into the quantum world, where the ordinary rules of reality break down, and delve into the intriguing notion of parallel universes—multiple worlds coexisting alongside our own, each with its own unique history and future. 
  Are we alone in the cosmos, or is life a common occurrence throughout the universe? What is the purpose of our existence in this vast cosmic tapestry? 
  As we embark on this cosmic adventure, keep in mind that you don't need to be an astrophysicist or a quantum physicist to join us. This journey is for anyone with a sense of wonder and curiosity about the universe and our place in it. Whether you're a seasoned science enthusiast or someone encountering these concepts for the first time, we'll navigate the cosmos together, unraveling its mysteries one chapter at a time.

  “Enough with speculation about our digital future. Infinite Reality is the straight dope on what is and isn’t happening to us right now, from two of the only scientists working on the boundaries between real life and its virtual extensions.” 
  —Douglas Rushkoff, author of Program or Be Programmed 
  Can our brains recognize where ""reality"" ends and ""virtual"" begins? Where will technology lead us in five, fifty, or five hundred years? An unrivaled guide to our digital future that has been cited by the Supreme Court, Infinite Reality is a mind-bending ""journey through the virtual universe"" (Wall Street Journal). Jim Blascovich and Jeremy Bailenson, two pioneering authorities, explore the profound potential of emerging technologies and reveal how our brains behave in digital worlds. 
   
  Along the way, Bailenson and Blascovich examine the timeless philosophical questions of the self and ""reality"" that arise through the digital experience; explain how virtual reality's latest and future forms—including immersive video games and social-networking sites—will soon be seamlessly integrated into our lives; show the many surprising practical applications of virtual reality, from education and medicine to sex and warfare; and probe further-off possibilities like ""total personality downloads"" that would allow your great-great-grandchildren to have a conversation with ""you"" a century or more after your death. 
  Equally fascinating, farsighted, and profound, Infinite Reality is an essential guide to our virtual future, where the experience of being human will be deeply transformed.
