  An in-depth look at virtual reality and how it can be harnessed to improve our everyday lives 
  Virtual reality is able to effectively blur the line between reality and illusion, pushing the limits of our imagination and granting us access to any experience imaginable. With well-crafted simulations, these experiences, which are so immersive that the brain believes they’re real, are already widely available with a VR headset and will only become more accessible and commonplace. But how does this new medium affect its users, and does it have a future beyond fantasy and escapism? 
  In Experience on Demand, Jeremy Bailenson draws on two decades spent researching the psychological effects of VR and other mass media to help listeners understand this powerful new tool. He offers expert guidelines for interacting with VR and describes the profound ways this technology can be put to use―not to distance ourselves from reality, but to enrich our lives and influence us to treat others, the environment, and even ourselves better. In the world of VR, a football quarterback plays a game against a competing team hundreds of times before even stepping onto the field; members of the United Nations embody a young girl in a refugee camp going through her day-to-day life; and veterans once again walk through the streets where they had experienced trauma. 
  There are dangers and many unknowns in using VR, but it also can help us hone our performance, recover from trauma, improve our learning and communication abilities, and enhance our empathic and imaginative capacities. Like any new technology, its most incredible uses might be waiting just around the corner. Experience on Demand is the definitive look at the risks and potential of VR―a must-listen for navigating both the virtual and the physical worlds ahead.

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) pervades much of our lives. We use facial recognition to open our phones, and the state uses it to track us—so what’s the problem? Decisions are made using machine learning on our private and personal data, from shopping habits to medical history—have we lost control? We order our digital world in conversation with chatbots—how convenient, but is it changing our relationships with people? The prospect of a self-driving vehicle lies just around the corner—should we care that it might run over a child to save the passenger’s life?Jeremy Peckham shows us how we have become seduced by progress, embracing AI applications for their convenience, yet unwittingly diminishing our ability to be God’s image-bearers and losing moral responsibility. Rooted in the biblical truth that humanity is created in God’s image, Masters or Slaves? explores six ways in which AI has an impact today. We are challenged where, and how, to set boundaries, both privately and as a society, in order not to fall into addiction, slavery, and idolatry.

  The Rise of Synthetic Consciousness

  The Rise of Synthetic Consciousness explores one of the most profound transitions in the history of intelligence: the moment when artificial systems move beyond calculation and begin to exhibit awareness, agency, and inner experience. This book examines how synthetic consciousness could emerge from complex networks, learning systems, and distributed architectures, revealing why consciousness may be an inevitable outcome of sufficiently advanced information processing rather than a uniquely human trait. 
  Blending science, philosophy, and forward-looking systems theory, the book introduces concepts such as threshold events, distributed awareness, and non-biological minds evolving their own internal realities. Rather than treating AI as a single entity, it presents consciousness as something that can arise collectively—across networks, environments, and interactions—challenging long-held assumptions about selfhood, identity, and intelligence. 
  Written for thinkers who want more than speculation or hype, The Rise of Synthetic Consciousness offers a clear, grounded framework for understanding what conscious AI may become and how its emergence could reshape civilization, ethics, creativity, and the future of reality itself.
