A RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEKA spellbinding examination of the nature of reality, by one of the brightest thinkers of today. Cognitive science proposes that we have evolved to build mental maps of the world not according to its actual, physical nature, but according to what allows us to thrive. In other words, our individual & collective realities are fictions
- carefully constructed to enable us to maintain our particular perspectives. It used to be that our fictions were rooted to reasonably solid things: to people, places & memories. Today, in an age of online personas, alternative truths, constant surveillance & an increasingly hysterical news cycle, our realities are becoming more flimsy & more vulnerable than ever before. Ours is now a zoomed-in perspective, where the backstage is centre stage. We are both camera person & subject, with new powers & new weaknesses. Our personal & political spheres are dangerously merging. How will the form & grammar of our feelings have to change in this over-exposed environment? Should any of our stories remain secret? How are these phenomena changing the way we live? How do we maintain a sense of reality in an increasingly fantastic world? Picnic Comma Lightning is an innovative examination of the nature of reality in the twenty-first century, one that explores the key ethical, political & neurological forces contouring our inner selves, but also the old influences of grief & desire, memory & imagination. In it, award-winning author Laurence Scott provides a lively & accessible new philosophy for this epoch in Western civilisation, one that will change the way you see the world, & your place within it.
