In this episode our hosts come together to try and figure out if it’s worth worrying about the possibility that we’re living in a simulation, with a fun twist. We also do plenty of listener feedback.
Steven mentioned Eneasz’s book.
When I googled the short story Eneasz talked about “Steve Fever” (which was written by Greg Egan), the fifth result was a link to Eneasz’s blog post about the story, which contains a link to the story in it.
Jess mentioned a story called “Stupid Perfect World” which you can get on Amazon for only 3 bucks!
