The Reality Bubble: Blind Spots, Hidden Truths and the Dangerous Illusions that Shape Our World
Ziya Tong
‘Essential’ Naomi KleinWhat are we not seeing?Our naked eyes see only a thin sliver of reality. We are blind in comparison to the x-rays that peer through skin, and the animals that can see in infrared or ultraviolet or with 360-degree vision.In The Reality Bubble, Ziya Tong illuminates this hidden world and takes us on a journey to examine ten of humanity’s biggest blind spots. What she reveals are not only the things we didn’t evolve to see but, more dangerously, the blindness of modern society. Fast-paced, utterly fascinating and deeply humane, this vitally important book gives voice to the sense we’ve all had – that there is more to the world than meets the eye.
