God’s Debris is not a long book, but you might be thinking about it for a long time after you read it.
It is a thought experiment, told in a fictional conversation between a delivery driver and an old man. It seems as though the author, Scott Adams, has put a good deal of thought into the questions and answers that make up the conversation.
There are a number of topics under discussion:
- Probability
- Free Will and the Soul
- Light and Lightspeed
- Gravity and Magnetism
- God
- Awareness
As well as a few others, but these were some of the ones that came readily to mind.
You don’t have to agree with any of the points that are made to find value in the perspective. Personally, I disagree with some of the assumptions and starting points that lead to the conclusions presented.
Overall rating 10/10 because it will challenge your beliefs and make you think about things that we take for granted about the universe we live in. Maybe you don’t know as much as you think you know?
