PERCEPTION: Why What You See Is Not Reality

What you see is what you get, right? Nope. In his mind-bending new book, "The Case Against Reality: Why Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes," Don Hoffman argues that what we see, smell, touch, and taste are illusions.

Hoffman offers us the red pill and invites us into "The Matrix" — the surreal, flickering, unreliable "real" world. Support us by supporting our sponsors!
