About this listen

 God's Debris isn't a conventional book. It is written on three separate levels, by Scott Adams, better known as the creator of the Dilbert comic. What is less known about Adams is that he's a trained hypnotist. God's Debris is what happens when creativity and hypnosis intersect. On the surface, God's Debris is a simple fictional story of a delivery man who encounters an Avatar who knows literally everything. The Avatar reveals the truth about God, reality, science, probability, human perception, and even social success. Adams uses a writing trick to make the Avatar's answers appear more persuasive than they should be. The second level of the book involves arguing with your friends about what parts the Avatar got wrong. Some of what the Avatar says is consistent with science, and some of it is pure fiction. See if you can tell which is which. You and your friends will come to very different conclusions.The third level of the book is the most provocative, but it won't have the same effect on all listeners. The story is designed as a very subtle hypnotic induction, with the intent of giving some (but not all) readers the sensation that the Avatar's words actually contain the wisdom of the universe.

For some readers, especially those under 30, God's Debris can be a mind altering experience. Fair Warning: Because of the hypnotic writing style, readers tend to have strong reactions to the work. If you are in the top 5% of the population in terms of scientific knowledge, or philosophical reading, there's a good chance you will have an angry reaction to God's Debris. But if you are more of a seeker than a know-it-all, your experience could be something special.

Reminded me of conversations I had as a student. I do think the world's smartest man is much better at talking philosophy than he is psychology. Fortunately the latter is only discussed a little bit towards the end (relationships and gender differences, *cringe...).

The voices on this are among the best I have heard on an audible product, which certainly contributed to my enjoyment of the product.

good stuff

A great listen, consumed in one Sunday afternoon.
But so many pearls of wisdom in there that i hope to read it again and again.

If Dilbert had a God, this would be it

the probability you will like this book is linked to how open your mind is to new concepts. If you like Scott Adams book HOW TO FAIL AT ALMOST EVERYTHING AND STILL WIN BIG, then this is a much read.

Every Scott Adams book I read or listen to, alters my perceptions and opens my mind to new thoughts. God's Debris makes you chuckle at the 'know all' of the main character, because it makes you question theories you have little depth of understanding to. Enjoyable, and mind twisting fun.

Mind bending brilliance

I love this book and read it countless times. Puts a twist on what you think

Best book ever

Mildly interesting in one or two places and made more enjoyable than it really has any right to be by virtue of the excellent voice-acting, particularly on the part of the Avatar/old man (although it's a long way from being 'hypnotic'). For some of the younger audience members, part of the enjoyment might come from identifying the accepted scientific facts vs the authors liberal use of imagination and hypothesizing, and which parts of this have tentative links with the former. Overall, it's worth the low asking price of ?2.99, but before buying I'd suggest that you replace the age of "30" with "13" in the authors blurb in order to avoid any potential disappointment.

I found plenty in this book to make me think about the topics discussed. Surely that’s what a good read does, it leaves you thinking.

But since then I’ve listened to some of Scott Adams’ pro Trump ramblings and I feel like maybe I was intellectually mugged. While I get that it should be possible to disagree with someone on one topic but agree with them on another I can’t see how I can reconcile myself with someone who can make a logical argument for Trumpism.

Enjoyed the book but then I listened to the author
