Žijeme v počítačové simulaci? Pokud ano, spousta podivných věcí, které se nám dějí, by rázem dávala smysl! Kniha Rizwana Virka Paralelní vesmíry (The Simulated Multiverse) si klade za cíl zvýšit povědomí o simulovaných variacích světa, ve kterém žijeme, a také o nekonečných možnostech představivosti. Existují v paralelních vesmírech další verze nás samých? Žijeme své životy v různých časových liniích? Potkáváte občas nepravděpodobné osoby? Býváte svědky nepravděpodobných situací? Jste přesvědčeni, že si jednu konkrétní událost pamatujete naprosto přesně, ale vaše okolí je přesvědčeno o úplně jiném průběhu, datu a okolnostech vůbec? Nežijeme my nakonec skutečně v matrixu? V Paralelních vesmírech se dozvíte úplně všechno o kvantové neurčitosti, Mandelův efekt, různých časových liniích, počítačových simulacích (a samozřejmě o mnoha dalších fenoménech, které vám pomohou odpovědět na otázky, které si kladete o světě a svém životě v něm).

Virk vám s lehkostí sobě vlastní ukáže, že to, co se kdysi jevilo jako nezáživná nuda, má v sobě neskutečně překvapivé souvislosti.

WINNER of the INTERNATIONAL GRIFFIN POETRY PRIZEWINNER of the BEST TRANSLATED BOOK AWARDFINALIST for the 2020 LAMBDA LITERARY AWARDOn October 27, 2003, Adnan received a post card of a palm tree from the poet Khaled Najar, who she had met in the late seventies in Tunisia, sparking a collection of poems that would unspool over the next decade in a continuous discovery of the present moment. Originally written in French, these poems collapse time into single crystallized moments then explode outward to take in the scope of human history. In Time, we see an intertwining of war and love, coffee and bombs, empathetic observation and emphatic detail taken from both memory and the present of the poem to weave a tapestry of experience in non-linear time.
