About this listen

What if everything you've ever known—every thought, every emotion, every moment—was part of a simulation?

Once dismissed as science fiction, the Simulation Hypothesis has surged into mainstream discussion, embraced by philosophers, physicists, and tech visionaries alike. As computing power soars and virtual realities grow more immersive, the idea that our universe might itself be a simulation becomes less absurd—and more plausible.

But if we are in a simulation, the next question is both thrilling and unsettling:
Who—or what—is running it? And why?

This book explores ten major theories about our potential simulators. From futuristic humans and cosmic AI to quantum manipulators and divine consciousness, each chapter presents a different lens on the question that redefines reality itself. Some are grounded in science, others in philosophy and speculative logic—but all stretch the boundaries of how we understand existence.

Prepare to explore the strangest, smartest, and most mind-bending ideas about what—or who—might be behind the code of the cosmos.
