An Immense World

Fascinating! This book makes you realise that what we take for granted as perception of “reality” is only one version. We're such an arrogant species. We think that our view on the world is the world itself. For instance humans see the world through 3 types of photoreceptor cells. We couldn't even imagine what the world looks like to a Mantis shrimp which has between 12 and 16 types of photoreceptor cells! What I appreciated most about this book is the wakeup reminder that perception is not reality by a long shot, and combined with the insights from people like Donald Hoffman that objective truth is a very naive concept.
