The Case Against Reality

How Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes

Donald D. Hoffman

Discover the groundbreaking ideas in The Case Against Reality by Donald D. Hoffman. Through thirty years of research, Hoffman shows how our visual perceptions are not windows onto reality, but rather interfaces constructed by natural selection for survival. Explore how our perceptions are simplistic illusions and how they can be manipulated by design and advertising. With an engaging blend of evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, Hoffman challenges the way we understand our world and invites us to consider a new, mind-bending perspective.
