La burbuja de la realidad

What is it that we do not see? At first glance we barely distinguish a small part of reality. We are blind when compared to animals, capable of perceiving infrared and ultraviolet light, and compared to X-rays, which pass through our bodies, or surveillance systems based on artificial intelligence. Starting from the history of science, The Reality Bubble shows us the elements that distort our vision of the world and endanger our survival. In a clear and entertaining way, Ziya Tong presents us with the blind spots we were born with and how technology allows us to see beyond biological limits. He also reveals to us how, as a society, we assume deliberate blindness; there are cameras everywhere, except where we produce food and energy, or where our waste goes. Delving into the mechanisms that distort or hide reality, we also discover intergenerational blind spots, ways of thinking that seem immovable, although they are only inherited ideas or convictions. This current and necessary book promises to open our eyes and expand our gaze, because it questions everything that surrounds us and especially what limits and controls us.
