So what’s the book about?

Well, if you’ve ever wondered how you came to be peering out of your singular set of eyeballs, enjoying (or not) your unique existence, science has answers. Evidence stretches from the Big Bang to the here and now, and what it shows is that personal identity is a gene-induced sensation, an evolutionarily advantageous self-narrative, a fake ID, yet despite self’s fictive nature it can lead to a “me and mine” (as well as an “us versus them”) mentality. In short, self as conventionally experienced is supported by neither objectivity nor effect. The book serves up proof that the indwelling emperor has no clothes, along with two sides dishes: one of tomfoolery and the other of self-reclamation.
